The Challenge

A Paper System Failing Pune's Most Visited Attraction

Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park was struggling to manage growing visitor demand using a fully manual, paper-based ticketing system. Long queues at entry points, duplicate ticket risks, and no real-time visibility into visitor numbers made operations increasingly unsustainable as footfall grew.
