See with travelmasti.com the deal is totally different. Its not to develop synergy between indiatimes travel and travelmasti but its more of a VC investment in an growing company. If you would have been keeping track of investments being made by BCCL they are not trying to backward integrate any. Travelmasti has been around for some time and has been marketing through niche low cost methods like on airtel phone bills etc. I did a post couple of months ago on their site after being down with so many travel portals hogging the light and providing zilch!!!!
Hi Siddharth,
the thing is internet travel industry if you will dig deep, they have different segments which different companies are trying to master.In the segment which travelmasti is trying to operate their are buying inventory directly from the smaller hotel hence generating deals which are more practically then results thrown up by travelport or other GDS being used by these portals. Yatra is another one on spree to collect inventory but their business model doesnt support tie up with smaller hotel’s but going the chain wise approach of acquiring inventory.
I have done lot of posts on travel segment and other travel portals if it interest you.
Regards
Hey Siddarth, thanks for the replies . I’m wondering if I can ask you some follow ups via email.
nice posts!
Hello,
I have come to your site via the India-Mike forum, where I was searching for information regarding pediatricians for my son in gurgaon. I am visiting Gurgaon for a couple of months from USA.
In the following thread on India Mike:
http://www.indiamike.com/india/moving-to-delhi-f99/doctors-hospitals-in-gurgaon-t52762/
I did find useful information, but not complete information in terms of the address and names of the pediatricians being recommended by Vinay Verma. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to help out with completing this information. You could pass me Vidya or Vinay’s email/ phone and I can contact them if you prefer. My son is quite ill, with an upset stomach and I need this urgent help. Will be very grateful. Many thanks. Look forward to your reply. All best, Preeti
Hi Preeti
Sorry to hear that , unfortunately i do not have Vinay’s email id with me , noticed that your post came online today itself , give the members sometime to reply and ill see if i can dig an email for you in the meanwhile.
Hello,
I came across your reply about camera repair and am interested to know some details. I would like to get my SLR Sony digicam repaired at some good place. I am presently based in Shimla. Can you advice a repairing centre at Delhi or Shimla. The camera is out of warranty. I am feeling handicapped without it.
Hey where do you got to have Pork Chops in Delhi? I have only had them in the American chain restaurants, namely Ruby Tuesday and TGIF, but I am sure there must be some gems you might know.
The Nagaland stall at Delhi Haat also has a crude Pork chop which is good in its own rustic way
I typically dont need to go out to have them , my wife makes lovely ones at home. And to get some raw stuff i always always go to Pigpo or Steakhouse in Jorbagh.
Some of the places i have eaten good chops though are Ambassador hotel , next to Khan market , Ploof.
Hello, I I read your posts on IM about bespoke tailoring for less than thousand bucks. I am a young professional who doesn’t make enough dough to go to Vaish in CP or Grover’s in Khan Market. I am wondering which tailor did you refer in your post on IM http://www.indiamike.com/india/delhi-f19/vaish-tailors-is-over-rated-t70385/
Thanks!
Hi, there is a tailoring shop called Iqbal brothers in GK 1 M Block market which i go to. The post is a bit old now so i am sure prices would have gone up a bit but never hurts to ask.

Hi, Neat post. There is a problem along with your web site in web explorer, would test this?
IE still is the marketplace chief and a huge part of
people will miss your excellent writing because of this problem.
Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay. I’m undoubtedly enjoying your
blog and look forward to new updates.

Hey there! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give
a quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading
through your posts. Can you suggest any
other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same subjects?
Thanks!
great put up, very informative. I ponder why the other experts of this sector don’t notice this. You should proceed your writing. I am sure, you have a great readers’ base already!
I’m not sure why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
