Motorist is a Singapore-based automotive platform - a self-styled 'super app for vehicle owners' - that consolidates the messy, opaque steps of car ownership into one place. Founded in 2015 by Damian Sia after a frustrating experience selling his own car, it now spans buying, selling, COE renewal, insurance, loans, valuation, inspection, scrapping and day-to-day driving tools. The company has served roughly 1.8 million motorists, facilitated more than S$3 billion in vehicle transactions, and works with over 3,000 certified automotive partners across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
