Discover the roots of success with APAC Media’s Monday Founding Stories
Back in 2019, Amit Lakhotia, CEO and Founder of Park+ faced a challenge that most of us in cities know too well—finding a parking spot. What should be a small part of daily life often turned into frustration, wasted time, and endless circling around crowded streets. Seeing this everyday struggle, he asked a simple question: What if technology could solve it? That question gave birth to Park+.
At first, Park+ focused only on parking, helping drivers find and reserve spots with ease. But something interesting happened as more people began using the platform. Users didn’t just want help with parking; they wanted a simpler way to manage everything around their cars. By paying attention to these needs, Park+ grew from a single-solution app into a mobility super-app.
Soon, the app began offering FASTag recharges, challan payments, insurance renewals, car servicing, and even access management for residential communities. What started as one feature expanded into a complete ecosystem designed to make car ownership stress-free.
Today, millions of Indians rely on Park+ every day. For drivers, it saves time and effort. For housing societies, it provides smooth access and security. More importantly, it shows how listening to people and solving their real problems can build something far larger than imagined.
The Park+ journey reminds us that innovation doesn’t always start with big ideas. Sometimes, it begins with something small, familiar, and frustrating. Parking, a problem that seemed ordinary became the seed for a company that is now transforming mobility in India.
From a single idea to one of India’s fastest-growing auto-tech startups, Park+ proves that even the most routine struggles can inspire solutions worth billions.
