| trackNOW | trackNOW pvt ltd. is the brainchild of a pair of couples. The startup evolved with the realization that their ideas were too similar and brilliant to pass. The app that they fondly call myskoolbus was born out of their passion to create something downright practical and useful for the average household.myskoolbus is the first product of TeamtrackNOW and the first of its kind in the neighborhood. The team of four devised the app with the regular mom in mind so that using it would be too easy. Highly practical, handy and user-friendly, myskoolbus is created to track the school buses or vans so that you can make sure neither your kid, nor you, miss the bus. |  | Seed | Jan 27, 2025 |  |
