Trying to break in an industry with big names can often seem to be a daunting task, but that did not let Sarvesh Chandran from reliving his dream of starting a ride sharing platform. Like many the idea for starting this venture came due to the fragmented state of online booking. Having a bachelor’s degree in electrical and electronics engineering, Sarvesh has always been driven towards social media and strategic planning. According to him, hard work and perseverance are the keys to the success, which is the same that helped him turn his dream into reality.
