Mumbain-based Taxidio offers a DIY travel experience

Indian real estate platform, Taxidio, allows the personalization of travel plans so that you can move at the pace that you need to move to hit all of the points on your itinerary

Travel plans can be both chaotic and fun. Whether you are traveling alone or planning a family vacation, you travel to relax and to create priceless memories without the stress of planning the trip. Besides, there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to traveling. And offering this flexibility and personalization to travelers is Mumbai-based Taxidio.

Started in November 2015 by two travel enthusiasts - Vishal Kejariwal (35) and Abhas Desai (36), Taxidio (meaning ‘travel’ in Greek) is one of the only online DIY trip planner.

What more? Taxidio has a B2B vertical to enhance concierge experience across hotels. It also provides tech-based solutions for independent travel agents and online travel agents (OTAs).

After the website went live in May 2017, the founders launched an iOS and Android application in March 2018.

Team voyage

After traveling to nearly 30 countries, Vishal, an MBA in Finance, turned his passion for travelling into a full-time job. He was joined by his college friend Abhas, an engineer with an Executive MBA in Information Technology. Abhas worked with the Aditya Birla Group before joining Vishal in this venture.

“We have always loved travelling, and the more we travelled, we realised that no matter how easy it sounds, planning a trip is rather complicated and the industry is highly fragmented,” says Vishal, who has previously worked for the Essar Group. “Thus, we went beyond what we were doing at our jobs,” he adds.

Besides the two co-founders, the team consists of four other members with IT, finance, and media backgrounds.
