The 35th annual Business Pitch Competition awarded "Pay n Park" the grand prize of $3,000 for their for-profit startup, which involves working toward food security for the future.
Behind the ambitious plan of Pay n Park are two passionate founders, Yash Patel (’17) and Arjun Paunrana, who are interested in developing a web application helping drivers find parking spots. They hope to solve a parking crisis in major Indian cities by helping drivers find available parking spots and property owners rent their parking spaces out for extra cash.
