  The Tarzan Way is a travel & tech-based startup idealized and brought to life just after my initial venture, The Tarzan House.Our vision is to innovate and simplify travel for anyone, whether a female solo traveler or an international traveler coming to India, through our AI-based software to provide highly personalized travel plans, bookings in a click and 24/7 live concierge throughout the experience. Through our platform, a user can either select from our curated culturally immersive and locally relevant experiential travel programs or can opt for building his or her own travel experience through our software. We try to empower the local communities in the local towns and villages, by providing them with employment opportunities and often increasing tourism at remote places.As the co-founder, I've played a multi-faceted role in the following fields - Product Operations, Business Development, Marketing, Graphic Designing, UI/UX, Web Development and Management, with plenty of ups and downs.Key Achievements -1. Currently handling a team of 80 people (including full-time employees, part-time employees, interns, and freelancers)2. Managed to cater 150+ travelers from countries like Italy, Turkey, Bahrain, Portugal, U.K, USA, Mexico, Indonesia, Hungary, China, and so on over a period of 2 years.3. Received 250+ requests for our tailor-made travel plans without any sort of marketing in the area since we were keeping it in stealth mode before the launch of our software.4. Achieved 500,000+ impressions through our marketing campaigns.5. Formed partnerships with various International universities, Indian universities, schools, organizations, and startups for group-based personalized travel experiences.6.

The Tarzan House

• Co-Founder

  • Dec 2016 - Jan 2018

  The Tarzan House was a bootstrapped venture during my initial years in college. With the vision to provide a home-like experience to travelers coming to New Delhi for long-term as well as short term stays.- During my experience here, we hosted travelers from all around the world coming to Delhi for purposes varying from tourism to education to volunteering, from hosting events to conferences, and what not.- We hosted many tours and events as a part of this venture, and learned a lot about the problems which inbound as well as domestic tourists face in India.- After hosting 1000+ guests, and creating trips for 350+ travelers, we realized that this business was extremely labor-intensive as well as capital-intensive, so we decided to shut down all the operations towards the end of 2017.- We managed to achieve revenues of more than INR 20L during this venture.- I played multiple roles during this experience, in Client Relations, Business Development, Sales (On-Ground), Digital Marketing and Management.- I hired and managed a team of 15 people. (including freelancers, interns and full-time employees) over a period of 1 year.- I definitely intend on revisiting this interesting concept sometime in the future with better funding and a much more scalable business model.Major takeaways:1. This was my first experience in an early-stage startup as a founder, and it had plenty of ups and downs, so I realized there are a lot of things which need to be considered before jumping into a venture.2. I learnt how to deal with different kinds of people, whether partners, clients, middleman and much more.3. I got a complete idea about the functioning of the travel industry in detail due to extensive research about different parts of India and handling loads of customers.4. I learnt how to solve different problems, which are a part of any startup journey.5. This experience was the inception of The Tarzan Way, an AI-powered platform to provide tailor-made travel plans.
