Last evening was listening to Karthik’s<\/a> X-Unicorns podcast, where he interviewed Prashant<\/a>, founder of EaseMyTrip. There are a few takeaways for me from the interview as a founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 EaseMyTrip is a bootstrapped ticket reservation platform run by Prashant and his two brothers. The company has been listed in India and is now a public limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Enjoy the journey. Don’t make too many plans. <\/li>
  2. Empower and inspire from within the organization. As a bootstrap company budget is limited, and you need more believers, especially the early team. <\/li>
  3. Be Frugal. Don’t compete with others on discounts and other marketing ploy. Let customers pick you over your service. <\/li>
  4. Be Flexible. EaseMyTrip started as B2B, and much success came from B2C.<\/li>
  5. The customer is the king. Treat customers well. They are your evangelist. <\/li>
  6. Share the pie. Don’t keep all the profit to yourself, but distribute with stakeholders, customers, and teams. <\/li>
  7. Keep things simple. People use EaseMyTrip for ticket booking, focus on it, and give experience around it simple instead confusing customers. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
