“During my sabbatical, I helped my husband build content for this travel portal which was focused on domestic travel. In 2007, I started working full time to launch our international holiday vertical. It was then that the going got tough for us. I mean, we had no friends in the trade, no contacts with DMCs, international hotel chains or even tourism boards. I soon realised that they all work in a close circuit and prefer their own friends and known people to do business with. It was that time when I decided that I will hustle until I no longer have to introduce myself,” said Meha.

To make your place in the industry is not easy but is it worth it? Absolutely. Meha further said, “I still remember being treated as ‘Oh, you are just into domestic as of now?’ attitude. That’s the attitude which can break your motivation and shatter your aspirations. Well, I soon realised I had to stop being distracted by the things that had nothing to do with my goals. I mean, either you work hard or pay heed to what people think about you.”

Today, Meha manages a travel company which focuses more on experiences and travel content than selling usual travel packages.
