🚗 Blyp: The Smart Parking Startup That Shined on Ideabaaz
🌱 From ParkMate to Blyp: A Vision for Smarter Cities
Originally launched as ParkMate, Blyp was born out of a simple yet powerful frustration: the daily chaos of finding parking in India’s crowded urban centers. The founders—Dhananjaya Bharadwaj and Abhimanyu Singh—recognized that this wasn’t just a commuter inconvenience; it was a systemic urban problem affecting traffic, fuel consumption, and productivity.
Their solution? A smart parking platform that lets users discover, reserve, and pay for parking spots instantly through a mobile app.
👨💼 Meet the Founders
- Dhananjaya Bharadwaj, Co-founder & CEO, brings a product-first mindset and strategic vision to Blyp. His background in tech and urban systems helped shape the platform’s scalable architecture.
- Abhimanyu Singh, Co-founder & COO, is a former executive at Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). With over seven years of experience in operations, sales, and administration, he brings deep executional strength and a hands-on approach to Blyp’s growth.
Together, they’ve built Blyp with a blend of technical innovation and operational grit, often engaging directly with commuters, parking operators, and civic bodies to refine the product.
