Pluggd.in has been profiling car rental information about the history tour de france services for the last few weeks and while some of these (services) are regional in nature, Savaari brings pan-India coverage for car rental services. Apart from regular car rental benefits of information aggregation, Savaari brings in a few differentiators:
My family has been in the transport business for two generations. Based on their experience, I have learnt that there are no quick ways to evolve this business and you have to get the operations right to succeed. information about the history tour de france The key to get that right is that you satisfy information about the history tour de france one customer, learn from it before you get on to the second customer.
It was in 2006 when I was travelling from Mumbai to Delhi and had to go to Roorkee. But after reaching Delhi, I found no reliable option to book a car. This is when I realized information about the history tour de france the need of a reliable information about the history tour de france car rental that is available 24 7 where the customer is assured of a clean, fully functioning car and an informed courteous driver. I decided to analyze the scope of the future of car rental in India and soon I found that not only there is no standard and quality assurance in this sector but also that there are no national players. There are franchises of some western companies present but they are serving only to a niche segment.
I have a Masters in Computer information about the history tour de france Science from Georgia Tech and have worked information about the history tour de france for 10 years in a networking company in the Bay area. I was involved in router development. The experience of working in such a complex environment helped me in designing a completely customized and scalable backend for Savaari from scratch. I have been managing technology, marketing and business development in Savaari.
Soon after we started, Mohit Khanna came on board. He brought with him an entrepreneurial experience of a decade of running a company that printed bar codes for Brass Export. He heads operations in Savaari and has been responsible in growing our network to 53 cities while ensuring quality standards for each booking. Manik Shah joined us a year later. He brings with him sales and customer support experience having worked in travel and BPO industry in various executive information about the history tour de france roles. He heads customer support at Savaari and also manages all our corporate accounts.
There are currently 17 employees managing operations, customer support, sales and IT including senior management team of 3. We also have 2 advisors helping us with brand and business development information about the history tour de france and 3 consultants in the team for marketing and accounting.
We are entirely bootstrapped. We had put in money initially which was used to put up a website, get the backend in place to get started. Given how unorganized the market is from the beginning our focus was to: develop a service model to deliver quality car rentals across India, build a business model where we keep our prices nominal and a financial model so that we can make money while doing so. We have been cash flow positive since our second year.  This has helped information about the history tour de france us stay our course to get ready for our growth phase.
With an experience of over 30,000 car days, we have proof of concept, right team, processes (including driver training), scalable backend, marketing and strategic vision in place to build a brand for quality car rentals across India at nominal rates. We will be doing so by consolidating a large part of this highly unorganized industry.
We are catering to both the business and leisure segment of market. The business segment includes MICE companies. We also have hundreds of well thought out packages to choose from which cater to the leisure market. Currently, our revenue is distributed equally information about the history tour de france between business and leisure. We will continue catering to both but going forward will lay more emphasis on the business customers. This is because the business segment is around 72% of the market. Thus, going forward we expect our revenues to come more from business customers.
The market information about the history tour de france is divided into airport information about the history tour de france (and also point to point) and non-airport (local full day/outstation). While airport is around 14%, it is the remaining 86% that is our target market. Though broadly the requirements for service standards are same for retail and corporate (part of non-airport segment), there are nuances like corporates requiring credit, and mostly using cars for intra city travel which makes these two segments different. Thus we have different strategies for catering to retail and corporate customers. We will continue focusing on the non-airport market which is a combination of both inter/intra city and retail/corporate. So far, 40% of our revenues are coming from retail customers and the remaining 60% are from corporate customers including our travel partners.
Savaari will be India s car rental company that brings national standards, regional overhead business model and local customer centered operations.  This is the perfect blend to be the sustained leader in car rental in India. Based on the transport information about the history tour de france experience that my family has, we knew to successfully run this business there is a lot of local help and context information about the history tour de france that is needed. This is the reason, we decided to use these local transporters as building blocks and build processes in place around them so that we can deliver quality information about the history tour de france services across India. This way we not only had the regional experience, but also same standards across India.
However, information about the history tour de france this was just the first half in building a pan India car rental company. The other part was to build a model so that right from the point the customer gets in touch with us to the point they get bill from us, they interact with Savaari information about the history tour de france and its standards and in case there is any issue, it is Savaari that takes the responsibility. information about the history tour de france Even now in all our bookings, the customer sees Savaari placard, Savaari chauffeur card, Savaari duty slip and Savaari branded newspaper and water bottles.
To the end customer we are a pan India car rental company and at the backend to provide services, we have decided to aggregate local players. Going forward, we plan to increase our number of cities and the number of local transporters in our existing cities and complete Savaari branding in terms of drivers uniform and the cars exteriors on a pan India basis. information about the history tour de france We also plan to build a GPS integrated device to better manage our services, automate corporate billing entirely and provide value added services to customers.
Yes, on one hand we are competing with them.  But on the other, this internal competition keeps us on our toes and strives to be the leader in this industry.  Over the years we have been able to turn a potentially competitive situation into a win-win partnership. The local operators information about the history tour de france understand the value of associating with Savaari as they see the top line sales potential, where Savaari helps them maximize sales locally and also from areas outside their area of influence.
Savaari is bringing in world class service standards with 24 7 availability, pan India presence, quality car rentals and nominal pricing. I am assured that continual investment information about the history tour de france in technology information about the history tour de france and talent will keep us at the front of the pack and guarantee information about the history tour de france long term success.
