JETSETGO
FILL IT! SHUT IT! JETSETGO IT!
From BBC to Huffington Post, global media has applauded the gumption of Kanika Tekriwal, founder JetSetGo (India’s first online marketplace for chartering jets and copters), who beat cancer in her 20s and made it to the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2016; 4Ps B&M catches up with her for an insightful interview
 

JetSetgo  is not just making luxury air travel more accessible but it’s also making a difference in the society. Tell us more about the air ambulance service you have launched.

JetSetGo launched an air ambulance service to offer better emergency services and help improve healthcare access, even in remote areas of the country, with the objective of increasing the odds for saving lives. JetSetGo quickly targets the right aircraft or helicopter and hospital at the right location proximity, minimizing the cost and time for transit from Point A to Point B.

JetSetgo  is backed by cricketer Yuvraj Singh and recently even tied up with Droom. Even today, women entrepreneurs find it difficult to get funding. Did you face similar challenges? 

Not at all. It took us all of 40 minutes to close our first round.

Apart from steering a very successful startup, you are also a pro at steering a plane. How did you get interested in flying? What are your other hobbies ?

Flying came naturally to me – some things just happen I guess. As for my other hobbies, I also love reading, painting and of course travelling.

You are surely an inspiration to many but who inspires you?

Undoubtedly, my mother.

Your biggest learning as an entrepreneur and your advice to budding entrepreneurs of today?

Use every “No” as a stepping stone to success and turn every “No” into a “Yes” through your journey.

Your message to the numerous girls out there who may have great dreams but do not have the courage to pursue them?

Successful people do not do different things but they do the things differently. Step up – Step out!
