Indian cities are moving forward. Parking must move with them.

Why invest
Five reasons this
is worth backing.
We would rather show you the reasoning than a slide of promises. Here is why we think Parkafella is a good bet, and where we still have work to do.
- 01
The problem is everywhere, every day
With about 9.2 million registered vehicles in the Chennai Metropolitan Area alone, finding a place to park is a daily cost in time and fuel. Almost every driver feels it, and there is no obvious leader to fix it.
- 02
The supply already exists
Homes, offices and shops have parking that sits empty for hours. We do not have to build car parks. We connect space that is already there to drivers who need it, which keeps our costs low.
- 03
More than one way to earn
The product is built around booking commission, owner plans and monthly reservations. A driver who books once can become a monthly customer, and an owner who lists one space can add more.
- 04
The product already works
Search, booking, wallet and card payments, QR entry passes, monthly reservations, owner tools and two-factor sign-in are built and running. We are not asking you to fund an idea on paper.
- 05
A focused start, with room to grow
We are starting in Chennai and getting the basics right before we open new cities. The same model can be repeated city by city as we learn what works.
To be fair: we are early. We have not published traction figures yet, and a marketplace has to build both sides at once. If that is the kind of problem you like backing, we would be glad to talk.
