ParkMate strengthens its leadership team with the appointment of Neeraj Pandey to spearhead engineering, innovation, and technology-driven transformation in urban mobility.
New Delhi, India – April 8th, 2025: ParkMate, India’s fastest-growing smart parking and mobility platform, proudly announces the appointment of Neeraj Pandey, Founder and former CEO of TrueWheels, as the company’s new Head of Engineering. This strategic addition to the leadership team underscores ParkMate’s commitment to innovation, scalability, and building sustainable parking solutions for the future.
Neeraj Pandey is widely recognized as a pioneer in the Indian parking industry. As the founding force behind TrueWheels, he was among the first to disrupt traditional parking systems through intelligent technology and customer-first design. Under his leadership, TrueWheels swiftly rose to prominence, earning the reputation of being one of the most innovative players in the sector. Neeraj’s success story was shared with his wife, who was also an integral part of the company’s journey.
However, in the face of immense personal tragedy—the sudden passing of his wife—Neeraj chose to step back from his professional commitments to focus on raising their six-month-old child and navigating his way through profound grief and clinical depression. His story is not only one of entrepreneurial brilliance but also of extraordinary strength and human resilience.
“What Neeraj has overcome and accomplished is nothing short of inspirational,” said Dhananjaya Bharadwaj, Co-Founder and CEO of ParkMate. “We are incredibly proud to welcome a leader whose vision, technical acumen, and emotional strength align so closely with the values we hold at ParkMate. His experience will be instrumental as we scale new technological heights in solving real-world parking challenges.”
Neeraj’s re-entry into the sector comes with renewed clarity and purpose. While he initially planned to revive TrueWheels, his vision found a powerful synergy with ParkMate. After receiving multiple offers from other companies in the mobility space, it was ParkMate’s mission—to transform the way urban India parks and moves—that truly resonated with him.
“I wasn’t looking to join another company,” said Neeraj Pandey, Head of Engineering at ParkMate. “But ParkMate stood out. Their purpose isn’t just about technology—it’s about making people’s lives easier, improving cities, and solving genuine everyday problems. After everything I’ve experienced, I feel a deep connection to that mission. Joining ParkMate feels like the right step—personally and professionally.”
“Neeraj’s journey brings not only years of technical and strategic expertise but also a lived experience that fuels purpose-driven innovation,” added Abhimanyu Singh, Co-Founder and COO of ParkMate. “His resilience inspires our entire team, and we are excited about the future we’ll build together.”
ParkMate’s expansion comes at a time when India’s urban centers are increasingly grappling with parking shortages, road congestion, and inefficient mobility systems. With Neeraj leading the engineering division, ParkMate is now more equipped than ever to develop and deploy cutting-edge, sustainable, and intelligent solutions that will define the future of urban mobility.
