What we have achieved today is that we have made quality travel accessible to a common man, in each and every corner of India through partners, bringing the bus industry online, building the first known reservation systems for bus operators to enable bus bookings in early 2007, be the first ones to build a automatic ticket booking kiosk or through the mobile, or launching a totally different way of doing hotel bookings in India. Our vision and dream of creating simplicity has lead to many successful incubations, new ideas puts us in a league far ahead from our competitors. We are disruptive in our approach to destroy the existing practices or create efficiency in them, and come up with new ones which gives our customers great quality and savings in a few seconds always.
Unbelievable customer service. No customer calls when all is well. We believe customer service starts with listening to the customer, owning what is wrong and then going out of your way to fix it. That's it, it does not mean, large call centres flooded with hundreds of souls or jazzy 1-800 numbers. Just a simple email or SMS will do. We will call you back. We fundamentally believe most problems can be eliminated by design and the rest by listening
