The story

Founded in 2012 after CEO Ujj Nath experienced friction getting his own car repaired, myKaarma deliberately paired dealership-customer communications with payments as the two biggest consumer pain points in auto service. The company has steadily expanded into a full fixed-ops SaaS platform (scheduling, mobile check-in, video MPI, reporting, AI workflow tools) around that core, with embedded payments and surcharging as the monetization engine. More recently, the company has pushed into BNPL financing (Sunbit) and AI-driven workflow products.
