Angel investors and startup founders including Deepinder Goyal, Deep Kalra, Rajesh Magow, Ashish Hemrajani, Kunal Shah, Kunal Bahl, Rohit Bansal, and Ashneer Grover have also invested in the firm.
Launched by Amit Lakhotia, former vice president of Paytm Payments, Park+ offers a bouquet of services including car cleaning, parking at home, malls and offices, paying fines, insurance purchases, and car service and maintenance among others. The company aims to become a super app for car owners.
It has also forayed into ancillary services such as FASTags and EV charging networks. Park+ recently tied up with battery swapping provider Mooving to set up over 2,000 battery swapping stations across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
Park+ competes with IvyCap Ventures-backed GetMyParking, which raised $6 million in May last year.
