ParkZebra appears to be a defunct project originally founded around 2015-2017 in Bangalore, India. Business registries and financial data providers (Tracxn, GST) list the company as 'Deadpooled' and 'Cancelled'. The submission contains objectively false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach. While the core concept of IoT-based parking is useful, the project lacks current viability, active user base, or verifiable recent activity.

Description
ParkZebra is a parking platform that uses IoT technology to solve any parking related hassles you might have. It enables drivers to find public parking facilities, some of which may be affiliated with ParkZebra, giving drivers the widest possible range of options. For parking facility operators, partnering with ParkZebra opens up brand new avenues of promotion and income, and a way to effortlessly increase their customer base. In addition, ParkZebra also offers complete parking solutions to developers, business parks, and multi-tenanted lots in office buildings. Management of parking spaces in corporates is currently managed through a manual process which has several security and efficiency related issues. This system is dependent on quality of manpower, that is often under skilled and has a high rate of attrition. ParkZebra solves these problems by offering reserved and guided parking in real time through the use of its IoT technology solution, making parking easy and freeing up employee time to make them stress free and more productive. The app based system provides real time tracking information and process automation that enhances security, boosts efficiency and lowers costs by reducing the reliance on manpower. ParkZebra also provides state of the art parking equipment for parking lots including sensor systems, entry/exit smart gates, parking guidance and parking management systems. Founded in 2015, with its technology centers in Canada and India, ParkZebra is led by co-founders Uday Maitra, T.N Pratap and Anton Svendrovski.
