Amirkhan Omarov took the long way through the parking lot
A fishing trip, a Dubai stopover and a hundred parking lots: the Parqour co-founder’s route abroad began on foot. His longer journey runs through Almaty’s coworking scene and a stubborn ambition to export Kazakh technology.
The Parking Lot That Paid for Its Own Upgrade
A camera reads the plate; a software ledger handles the rest. Parqour turned that small convenience into a way to make old car parks pay for new technology.

Chirag Jain is the co-founder and CEO of Get My Parking, a smart parking technology company he started in 2015 with Rasik Pansare after the two met on the Jagriti Yatra train journey across India. An IIT Madras graduate who spent two years in the automotive industry, Jain set out to digitize the largely unorganized parking sector with affordable, white-labeled, IoT-driven software. Under his leadership Get My Parking has grown to serve tens of millions of parking transactions across more than a dozen countries, raised multiple rounds of venture funding, and pushed into AI-powered products like license plate recognition and the AVA voice support agent. He was named to Business World's Disrupt 40 Under 40 in 2017.
Get My Parking
Get My Parking is a Bengaluru- and New Delhi-founded smart-parking technology company that builds an open, interoperable IoT platform to digitize how parking lots are run. Its software connects legacy gates, kiosks, payment systems and cars so operators can offer ticketless entry, digital payments, license-plate recognition, EV charging and real-time analytics - often by retrofitting existing hardware rather than replacing it. Founded in 2015 by Chirag Jain and Rasik Pansare, the platform has processed 100 million-plus transactions across thousands of parking lots in roughly 20 countries, and counts Europe's largest operator APCOA among its partners and investors.
