The most common and irritating problems in urban cities of our country is getting caught in traffic jams. The everyday
travelling on the roads is becoming time consuming and more exhausting day by day, highlighting the failure of public
transportation infrastructure to keep pace with the growing developing activities in the cities. According to a report made
by IBM’s global Commuter Pain study in 2013, our own capital, New Delhi is among the top 10 cities in the world having
the worst traffic jams.

Bring Change
Get My Parking is driven to change the way parking
systems have been managed till date. There model is
helping the governments to get city-wide macro
level data about where, when, how many vehicles
are getting parked. This is helping them make data-
driven policies on public fund being utilized for
parking infrastructure. GMP have been associated
with various city governments for the pilot of our
solutions which provide real analytics for policy
making. After various successful pilots conducted,
GMP is now collaborating with CIDCO in Navi
Mumbai for a smart parking pilot in Kharghar.
CIDCO today holds the reputation of the premier
town planning and infrastructure agency in India.
Get My Parking is joining hands with CIDCO to
revolutionize the parking management in Mumbai.
Get My Parking competently implemented its smart
parking pilot at 6 different locations in Jaipur, in
association with Jaipur Development Authority, last
year. The authorities monitored how their solutions
impacted the parking experience and urban mobility
in those 6 areas. GMP also helped the authorities not
only on technology front but also in designing and
planning for street-side parking. With the help of
their dashboard, they were able to gather the
relevant information they needed to implement
changes in their policies.
Get My Parking’s goal is to make the infrastructure
of all the cities efficient and digitally connected.
And this urban development can’t proceed without
accounting for smart parking. GMP have put one of
its initial steps towards building a parking
ecosystem with CIDCO in Navi Mumbai. And they
hope that soon their collaborations will pan out to
millions of citizens overall.
Hurdle
While the company is resolving parking issues,
some changes in how the industry functions can help
the startup in resolving these issues faster. There is a
need to separate the technology from the workforce
management aspect of the business. At present, the
city administrators give out one tender for the
operations and the technology for the parking. The
government does not want to talk to multiple
vendors; but it does not provide the best results
because managing workforce and providing
technology are two very different core
competencies. There is a need to separate the two
functions.
And while the startup is working to resolve parking
issues, it also believes that introducing congestion
pricing will help in reducing a lot of stress on the
streets as well as on the environment. E.g. Crowded
cities like London, Dubai have zones with
differential parking pricing to relieve congestion.
This helps in cutting down on needless miles spent
on searching for a parking spot in a crowded area.
Country need a similar policy if we do not want
India to be one of the most polluted countries of the
world.Policies are lagging far behind the strenuous
demands put on Indian cities by urbanization but
Get My Parking will do its best to meet the demands
of the parking industry.
Conclusion
The app seeks to simplify parking by digitizing the
entire process from ticketing to auditing. To users,
the app provides information on the nearby location
of the parking lots, availability of parking spots,
ticket pricing so as to avoid overcharges. To parking
attendants, Get My Parking helps in digitally
managing the lot, cashless platform for payment,
revenue management, accounting, auditing. It is
more like an ERP solution for parking contractors.
While the app is free for individuals, the company
charges license fee to the contractors for its usage
and an upfront payment for any hardware
installation.
The key focus is on providing statistical and real-
time information of parking vacancies. Besides this,
the digital collection of parking revenues
substantially reduces the cost compared to having an
expensive infrastructure in the streets.
