Not sure of the authenticity. But this is one of the reasons I don't holiday during the year end or long weekends. The whole idea of a holiday is lost in the crowd and prices are high too.

Early in @Pickyourtrail journey (at about 10-15 bookings a month kinda scale), one of the VCs who we had met liked the idea, team, tech roadmap but felt customised holidays is a lifestyle biz, difficult to scale. They felt getting to 100 pax a day would be challenging 1/n

There was a pedestrian path way. And a cycling zone. Much before smart cities projects. Really wish we could just organise roads better. So much efficiency improvement for a city. And surely s must for tourism inflows to increase

Why holidays biz? Many folks ask me this. My thoughts 1. Massive market 2. Highly fragmented 3. Low service (currently) 4. Near zero tech penetration 5. Proven biz model 6. (-ve) working cap 7. Multiple adjacencies The BUT - people led + no big winner till date. enter, PYT.

This is really brave by India. (Source not confirmed, but from mumbai airport). Putting out stamps on ppl who have to be quarantined with voter id ink (indelible ink for a few weeks). This is amazing thinking - jugaad as we call it. PS - love the copy. @startupdaemon @tapak7

They were on the path to IPO. 😔😔 During B-school, I got my summer placement in 2008 done in less than 20mins with an investment bank. In 2009 final placements, few of the top 10 of the institute were without a job till day 3. I somehow managed to 1/n

When you are growing fast - Very easy to lose sight. Moderately easy to realise that. Extremely difficult to stay focussed. Meditation has helped me stay in the moment. Being in the present, hugely helps focus and execute.

corporate job is a rat race, build your own company - said a wise man. IMO, Entrepreneurship is also now a rat race. Do you have day zero interview == are you speaking to VCs. How many day zero offers == how many termsheets. Salary == valuation. #ironical @IIMBAA @peegeekay

I read books not to learn, but to be inspired. Someone just as human as I - turning around companies, winning wars, outwitting competition. What stops you? Is the only question I ask myself. Most times the answer is - THE MIND. We are limited by our imagination.
