Empowering Hotels: Sibasish Mishra's Inspiring Story

Imagine you're a hotel owner, struggling to manage your online bookings and feeling like you're losing control to OTAs. Every commission fee feels like a punch to your bottom line, and the constant pressure to compete with bigger chains is overwhelming. Sound familiar? Yeah, most hotel owners have been there.

That was Sibasish Mishra's life for years. Even as a seasoned entrepreneur in the hospitality industry, he saw how OTAs were dictating the terms of hotel bookings and taking a huge chunk of the revenue. He thought, "Why can't hotels feel in control of their own bookings?" Why couldn't there be a platform that actually understood what hotels go through, run by hoteliers themselves?
