Park+ | Find & Book Car Parking
Launched by Amit Lakhotia, Park+ is a Gurugram-based car owners-focused app that helps users find & book parking, recharge FASTag, get daily car cleaning, view e-Challans, check car health, buy & renew insurance & do much more!
Park+ app went live in 2020 and currently has around 60 lakh car owners on its platform.
Speaking about the development, Amit Lakhotia, Founder and CEO of Park+, said,
“The confidence shown by our investors in this round is a reflection of their conviction in our business model. At Park+, we took up car ownership related problems which no one was ready or willing to solve. Despite the funding winter and not much marketing spend, we have raised the capital.”
Building a super app for car owners, the Gurugram-based startup has been expanding its services to enhance the car ownership experience for them throughout the life cycle of their cars.
In 2021, EVRE, a leading EV charging infrastructure player, partnered with Park+ to set up 10,000 charging stations across India over the next two years.
Commenting on the development, Rajinder Balaraman, Managing Director at Matrix Partners India, said,
“The auto-tech category is poised for rapid transformation with cars becoming more digital, and every car becoming a payment instrument with FASTag. As a dominant market leader in a large and underserved market for access control, FASTag, parking and related auto-services categories, Park+ is well positioned to delight every car user in India through its platform.”
