The Story Behind Cleartrip.com
Here's an interesting story about Cleartrip.com. A bunch of entrepreneurs started a company called 'Paper Plane' back in 1998, which had nothing to do with travel, rather it was a company that offered web designing and hosting services. These guys landed their first major contract wtih Thomas Cook for designing their website and maintaining the back-end of their online operations in India.
After 6-something years of running thomas cook's online operation and gaining a wealth of insightful information on the travel industry and consumer behavior, these guys actually start thinking that hey travel seems to be a huge opportunity and the TC people don't look to serious about it, why not we put our learnings over the years to good use and tap this opportunity ourselves.
2 years and several meetings with angel investors later, Cleartrip.com was born in 2006.
Talk about being at the right place at the right time and having an eye for opportunities !!
