How the idea was born

Two problems.
One simple idea.

Parkafella started with a very Chennai problem, seen from both sides of the same street.

  1. 1

    The search

    Our founder grew up in Chennai. Like most of us, they spent far too many evenings circling the same few streets in T. Nagar, Anna Nagar and Adyar, looking for somewhere to leave the car. Time slipped away, fuel burned, and the day started or ended on a sour note.

  2. 2

    The empty space

    Just a few metres away, the picture was different. Residents had a spare bay, offices had basements that sat empty after six, and shops had frontage nobody used at night. Plenty of people owned parking they did not need, and had no idea what to do with it.

  3. 3

    The idea

    One side was searching for space and the other was sitting on it. They just had no way to find each other. Parkafella is that missing link: a simple, trusted way for drivers to find a space and for owners to put an unused one to work.

Our purpose

More useful space.
Less time searching.

Every available space can be put to better use. Parkafella helps residents, businesses and institutions share parking while giving drivers clearer choices.

For peopleReliable parking near work, study and everyday plans.

For space ownersPut unused parking to work on your own terms.
