India’s roads are full of stories—of bustling traffic, endless honking, and unfortunately, countless challans. For decades, traffic challans have been a confusing maze of state portals, delayed payments, and missed deadlines. What should be a straightforward compliance process often turns into a frustrating ordeal for both individuals and businesses.
Enter ChallanPay, a legal‑tech startup founded under the Lawyered ecosystem by Himanshu Gupta. What appears to be a simple payment tool is, in reality, a scalable governance solution designed to modernize India’s traffic compliance system.
