About

I am the CEO & Co-founder of Holidify, a travel platform dedicated to simplifying travel and helping people explore the world with joy. Founded in 2014, Holidify began as a content platform and has since evolved into India’s largest holiday packages marketplace. With the Tripcrafters merger in 2023, we now offer the most extensive range of destinations and travel package options, collaborating with 3,000+ travel agents to assist 25,000+ travelers monthly in planning and booking their holidays across India and 50+ countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. We’re passionate about making every journey seamless—be it a romantic escape, a family vacation, or an adventurous group trip. Previously, I served as Group Product Head at the CarDekho Group, driving product development and traffic growth for platforms like Gaadi.com, Bikedekho.com, Zigwheels.com, and Oto.com. I hold a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from IIT Bombay and have been passionate about entrepreneurship since my college days. If you’re as excited about travel, startups, or creating customer-centric platforms as I am, let’s connect and share ideas!
