The Red Herring 100 Asia is an exclusive event honouring 100 cutting-edge private technology firms from Asia. The winners were selected from more than 1,000 companies based in 16 countries including China, India, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Australia and Vietnam. 

Yatra.com is among those top 100. This is the moment of pride and proud to be part of the company since the launch and was involved in building blocks of every inch of it. 

Memories goes back to the days of starting as a seventh employee (007) in a conference room from First India Place (Gurgaon) with all chaos of setting up servers in the corner, website layouts, business strategy all in that one room.

I guess, this is one of the happiest moment that i will lavish in my professional career for long time to come.

I always wanted to be part of a start up. Seeing a company growing from scratch gives a thrilling experience and keeps your adrenaline moving. When an opportunity came, I jumped at it and became part of Yatra on 13th March 2006. What a day to start some may say, but so far its been a learning experience and no one can steal that from me. We started from a small conference room with just 10 people in all, from doing data capturing, to study international competition, drawing few sketches of prototype, debating, arguing, and finally making consensus as to how our home page looks like. It was all chaos with little clue, a journey began. A grueling, yet enjoying Yatra is still part of my life.
