“Can employer-sponsored car and device leasing become the default tax-optimised salary benefit for Indian white-collar workers?”
AutoMint is an early-stage (2024) Indian vertical SaaS play that packages car and consumer-device leasing as a payroll-integrated employee benefit. Employees select a car or smartphone from a digital catalogue; monthly lease payments flow through pre-tax salary deductions, unlocking up to 30-40% savings under Indian tax rules. The company positions itself as a benefits platform rather than a lender — leasing capital is provided by third-party financiers, and AutoMint's tech layer handles catalogue, KYC document upload, digital signature and payroll-integration workflows with the employer.
Automint was founded by Akarsh Agrawal and is founded in 2024, headquartered in Panaji, Goa, India.
