iTraveller is a cloud-based, online travel startup, which provides an extensively automated product platform (iTravelPlanner) for its users, who can create their own vacation plans by selecting destinations, hotels, room types, transportation mode etc. Its seamlessly integrated modules handle every process in vacation planning, ranging from hotel reservations to the transportation and client management.

iTraveller’s business revolves around the philosophy of extreme personalization of travel planning, by way of using suitable technological and process innovations.
Quitting his job after a stint of nearly a decade, iTraveller was founded by Shiju Radhakrishnan along with Chitra Parija and Prashant Varghese in 2011. Shiju has his MBA from SPJIMR, Mumbai, Chitra is a graduate in Commerce from Anna University, Chennai and Prashant has MBA from TAPMI, Manipal. While working at Wipro Technologies, Singapore, by investing a mere sum of Rs 3000, Shiju launched the first website of iTraveller.

Growth story

iTraveller has grown from a small team of five in 2011 to 22 members in 2013. iTraveller gets to latch with the best of the talents in the industry and work with some of the most reputed mentors in the startup space.

It’s one of the first few companies to get incubated at Startup Village. The firm has been able to achieve its traction by handling an average of 200 clients, clocking about Rs 40 lakh in revenue every month.

This year, the company expects to reach Rs 4 crore in annual sales.The leading team of Startup Village, which includes Sijo Kuruvilla and Sanjay Vijayakumar has always been the guiding force.
One of the most important aspects of iTraveller is that it’s not a one-stop-alltravel-services-shop.

How does it work?

It operates only in those destinations where it has setup own infrastructure and ground handling systems. iTraveller has chalked out an ambitious plan for three years,to grow as a global travel brand, expanding beyond India, delivering services to Europe, South East Asia and US.

Its primary focus will be in enhancing the product platform and consolidating the three core service offerings– the technology platform, lead generation and branding.

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child, due later this month. In anticipation of this joyous milestone, the couple recently shared a series of heartwarming photos from their pregnancy photoshoot. The pictures beautifully capture mom-to-be Deepika flaunting her baby bump, while others showcase the couple sharing joyful moments, their smiles wide and laughter contagious.

In the photos, Deepika stuns in various outfits. She rocks mom jeans paired with a lacy bra and cardigan in the first few shots, exuding casual elegance. In another set, she channels her inner boss lady in a sleek black pantsuit. A third look features Deepika in a see-through maxi dress, where she is captured twirling and lost in thought. For her final look, she dons a black, see-through bodycon dress, posing alongside her husband Ranveer in a series of intimate and stylish shots. The couple captioned their post with a few simple emojis, but that was enough to ignite a flurry of reactions from fans.

Deepika and Ranveer first announced their pregnancy on February 29, just before attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash in Jamnagar. Their announcement featured a postcard with the word “September” and adorable drawings of baby accessories. Following the news, Deepika faced criticism and accusations of faking her baby bump. However, with this stunning photoshoot, she has gracefully silenced her detractors, proving once again that she is in full command of her narrative.
