From ₹250 Per Day at a Toll Plaza to Building a Multi-Crore Mobility Startup

Starting From Humble Beginnings

Gurumurthy’s journey began in a lower-middle-class family where financial responsibilities pushed him to take up multiple jobs while continuing his education. After completing 12th grade, he moved to Bangalore searching for better opportunities and stability. Starting with a toll plaza job paying ₹250 for an eight-hour shift, his entrepreneurial journey started long before launching a company.

Learning Through Different Roles

Before entrepreneurship, Gurumurthy worked across multiple industries where he developed operational knowledge, communication skills, leadership capabilities, and management experience. Every role contributed to building the foundation required for entrepreneurship.

Identifying A Real Problem

While researching business opportunities, Gurumurthy noticed a recurring challenge in corporate parking operations. Parking inefficiencies, poor valet management, limited capacity, and operational issues created significant pain points for businesses. Recognizing this opportunity led to the creation of a solution-driven mobility company.

Building Gupio

Using personal savings of approximately ₹10 lakh, the first version of Gupio was launched in 2023. The company focused on solving urban parking challenges through technology, operational excellence, and mobility services.

Scaling Operations Rapidly

Today, Gupio serves multiple corporate clients, manages thousands of vehicles daily, and continues expanding operations across metro cities while building scalable mobility infrastructure.
