Greetings!!
This is with regard to my client VIA.com
Via is the largest player in the domestic travel market in India. Via
today is also the 5th largest travel company in South East Asia with a
presence in over 200 South East Asian cities with over a few hundred
people working there.
Founded by Vinay Gupta and Amit Aggarwal in July 28th, 2006 as
Flightraja.com, a unique B2B model, this company played a significant
role in bringing world-class travel products at affordable prices to
the Indian consumers through travel agents. The company's travel
network ranges across 2000 cities. Via has created a silent revolution
in the travel sector in India. Within 5 years of operation, their
annual turnover has gone upto 500 million USD.
Mr. Vinay Gupta(CEO & Founder) will be in the city to address the
following topics:
• Launch of VIA as a B2C model
• Success of Flightraja.com as a B2B operation
• How VIA has become a 500 million USD company in just 5 years with
over 4 crore customers in 2000 cities
• USP of VIA and how it will be different from
• Future expansion plans of VIA
• Vinay’s objective in launching a B2B 5years back and a B2C in the
current market
• Trends and other statistics of the Travel Industry

When ‘surfing the net’ became the layman’s hobby and an expendable
income ceased being an object of the elite, Indians were expected to
book online for their travel needs from hotels to holidays to flights.
Mr.Gupta(CEO & Founder, VIA), on the other hand, did not undervalue
the power of tradition in India – which is to always purchase with
your trusted, brick and mortar, family friend travel agent. He built a
unique B2B model that enabled the smallest shop owner to book tickets
on travel and holiday for the customer. Thus, VIA was built into an
instant revenue generator, currently valued at 1700 crores.
