The thorn-laden road of entrepreneurship always feeds on hard work and strategic thinking. Oftentimes, visionaries find themselves in a state of overwhelming ocean of thoughts filled with self-doubt. But success usually peeks behind the camouflage of confusion, struggle and resilience. The editorial of Business Outreach Magazine believes that the best of stories are deep rooted in the hardships of business leaders, who have cultivated unique perspectives to build value for society. Our strength has always been the monumental collaboration of our pen with the minds of forward-thinkers. In the edition, Global Market Leaders 2025, Business Outreach moves forward to uplift the indomitable spirit of Anil Rathi, whose unparalleled leadership has created testament to entrepreneurial excellence.
Anil Rathi founded GPS in 2020 during the uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic. For over 18 years, Anil Rathi has worked in the sector of mechanical car parking systems and decided to look forward by building something of his own. GPS was ideated by Anil Rathi along with two other partners, coming from similar industry experience. The fruits of dedication and commitment towards any goal usually starts a long time before. And this is well-perceived in the case of Anil Rathi, who started his career back in 2007.
When it comes to education, Anil Rathi completed his Bachelors of Technology degree in Electronics and Telecommunication. With just 6 employees, Anil Rathi started GPS and currently has scaled to an industry leader with a team of more than 200 employees, working with national and international clients. Anil Rathi comes from the region of Nagaur in Rajasthan and understands the values and principles of an Indian middle-class family.
Under the distinguished vision of Anil Rathi, GPS is currently working with about 175 national clients and 2 international clients from East Africa. Some of the reputed clients of GPS are professional MNCs of Facility management like CBRE, JLL, Embassy, C & W, Crest in India. In East Africa GPS is collaborating with Meera Investment & Crane Management. In Sri Lanka, GPS has partnered with SAS Services. The mechanical car parking system is a sector that demands intricate operational efficiency.
GPS’s work highly focuses on car parking systems with all types of facility work like Operation & Maintenance of Mechanised Car Parking system, Parking Management System, Operators & Valet to manage Mechanised Car Parking system at corporate level and many others. Furthermore, GPS provide End to End Solution for Parking Space in Residential & Commercial Buildings like Mechanised parking System Maintenance, Valet & Operators for Operation, Parking Management System to Manage Vehicle Movement, Speed Breaker, Convex Mirror, Boom Barrier, Payment Collection Software for Commercial & Mall Parking.
Every product needs to be maintained properly in order to deliver the rightful experience to the clients. GPS Pvt. Ltd. provided a diverse and economical package for maintenance of multi-level car parking systems. There cannot be any debate around the fact that in urban areas, especially in the major cities, four-wheelers have grown exponentially over the past few years. With elevated quality of life along with higher family incomes, people are going forward in fulfilling their goals of experiencing a life with a car.
It can be also considered that the purchasing power of the average Indian middle-class has risen in the past couple of years. This evolution has also sparked interest within Indian families to own more than one four-wheeler at home. All this socio-economic transition has led to more cars on the road with few parking facilities. Anil Rathi identified this subtle, yet massive underlying problem within our ecosystem and decided to build GPS with the motto of honesty, hard work and perseverance.
An environment of inspiration within the workplace comes from expressing mutual respect for each other. Anil Rathi’s leadership believes in showcasing the employees as the greatest assets of a company. And this is why GPS is emerging as an industry leader in the mechanical car parking system. Interestingly, we can analyze that Anil looks after his clients with a touch of emotion. He believes that cars can be one of the vital sentimental aspects for its owner and this is why GPS’s car parking systems boast of safety and top-tier security. When the company started back in 2020, big players were skeptical in trusting GPS.
But Anil’s far-sightedness has proved beneficial as it is tailored with trust and building a sense of community. Not everything can be drafted with numbers and logic. And this is exactly what Business Outreach appreciates the most of Anil Rathi that he cares for his brand and the clients that he works with. The offices of GPS Pvt. Ltd. are located in regions like Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Jaipur and Ghaziabad. Brands like Kanakia, Godrej, Dosti, BMW and many others work like GPS because Anil and his co-founder shaped the company’s mission statement to be holistic and progressive. GPS’s stellar customer satisfaction rating along with on-time service has allowed the company to work with some of the most professional facility management companies.
The time is for those who trust the process of progress and creates a product of value for society. Bridging the gaps in car parking by forming an inclusive ecosystem of car parking systems could ease the pain of several individuals who commute in their four-wheeler in their daily lives. There is a strong speculation that cities could get more crowded in the coming years with more cars and Anil Rathi’s articulate thought-process in scaling GPS as an innovative mechanical car parking system will solve a major crisis in the urban regions.
The mechanized car parking system is said to portray a market capitalization of about Rs. 2,500 crore. And GPS’s value-creating rationale with Anil Rathi’s guidance will take the company to greater heights of success. When we asked Anil Rathi on his take on succeeding in life, he said, “Never give up as time has the power to change anything. Samay Bada Balwan Hai.” With this deep lesson, we believe that Anil Rathi is a pivotal pillar of the Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem, destined to create fascinating benchmarks for the growth of our economy.
