Demo/Elevator Pitch

OranjTag
OranjTag is an online parking discovery platform to connect parking seekers with parking providers.

Finding a parking spot is a problem that many motorists face on a daily basis. Due to lack of information, motorists are not able to locate parking spots around their destination. It forces them to park their vehicles inappropriately on the road and live with a fear of their vehicle getting towed. Struggle to find a parking spot results in wastage of time and fuel and leads to frustration. Unsystematic parking on roads contributes to congestion, traffic jam and increased commute time for everyone.

OranjTag is a smart solution to all the parking woes. Our team aims to bring in efficiencies in the parking system by linking the parking providers with parking seekers using advanced technology. The parking providers benefit by higher utilization of their parking inventory, increase in revenues and one stop solution to manage multiple customers. The motorists get to locate parking spots around their destination, check real time availability status and make a hassle-free online transaction.

OranjTag strives to make daily commute convenient and Indian cities smart and future-ready.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
