A tribute to the original Yatraindia.com

Last updated on 06/08/2024

Anurag Chandra Gupta was the founder and CEO of the original portal and had a vision to create a comprehensive resource on tourism in India. It was unfortunate that it didn't take off; partly because it was too much too soon and partly because it lacked the strategy to monetize the concept.

Nonetheless, I still don't see an online resource that can compete with what Anurag had in mind; to document every major tourist and historical attraction in India with a comprehensive collection of high-resolution pictures, 360-degree panoramas, and well-authored facts.

I was one of the first few employees of the company and admired the man's energy, vision, and resourcefulness. This site aims to bring back my fond memories of writing software, helping with co-location/database management, and getting the web portal up and running.
