2016: December - I leave Chennai to Join the Family Business in Andaman. 🌴

I knew very little about the travel industry but was determined to make my mark in it. Having left the IT Profession and choosing Tourism as my future met with a lot of criticism. The more people looked down on me, the more resilient and determined I became.

2017: Setting up the Business 🛠️

From creating the website to setting up a reservation team in Andaman was an uphill challenge. The network in Andaman in those days was on 2G and call congestion was at its peak. We used the Gmail lite version to send and receive mails and on our best days were able to reply to a few mails. From receiving travelers from Airport, to guiding them, driving them around the town, briefing them about their tour, no job seems small or less important.

Despite the limitations and challenges we all faced as a team, our spirit remained unbroken.

2018: The Special Year ✨

By meeting different people, I gained an appreciation on how travel changes our lives. It is a reflection of one's passions, aspirations and desires. The more I interacted with individuals, some on their Honeymoon, other on their Anniversary or a family vacation I started to realize that understanding their travel requirements went beyond simply listening to their requests.

Travel is not a one-size-fits-all experience but it is truly a deeply personal and subjective pursuit. Each conversation kept fueling my collective wanderlust. It also gave fuel to my understanding that there are two kinds of travels in general:

• One who likes to spend more on the Stay rather than the travel 🏨
• Other who likes to spend on travel rather than the stay itself 🧳

During such an interaction, I met Khushbu. She was deputy Manager at HDFC Bank, Mumbai at that time. As a mumbaikar she loved traveling and we shared a lot of common interests.

2019: Mumbai se aaya mera Dost 👫

This year was the best year of all. I married Khushbu. It turned out to be the best decision I had taken in my entire life. She had to quit her high paying job in HDFC and shift to Port Blair as transfer to Andaman was not going through.

She joined the business and instantly improved it. Her new idea and corporate approach to things got us good deals and great business. As a seasoned solo traveler herself, she single handedly revolutionized the way we curate experiences and connect with travelers like you.

She introduced personalized itineraries, tailored to individual preferences, ensuring that every journey was a reflection of the traveler's unique identity. We started off-beat destinations such as Long Islands, Diglipur and Rangat. Our reviews were filled with appreciation for Khushbu and her Team.

Our reservation team grew in leaps and bounds. During this same year we sealed a package of 152 members group single day arrival, the highest ever in the history of Andaman Travel. I couldn’t be any prouder.

2020 - 21: From Crisis to Courage 💪

This year was a time of immense challenges, heart-wrenching setbacks, and a lot of uncertainty. All our hard work, spirit and dedication in those years couldn’t fetch us any salaries. Funds weren’t managed well by the firm's management and the entire team collapsed, leaving behind a trail of shattered dreams and uncertain paths ahead. No salary for almost more than a year. When the lockdown got lifted in October, We were the only two left working. Soon the Second lockdown stuck and everything we believed almost ceased to exist.

The internal battle we fought during this time still runs deep. We decided to navigate the road to recovery and promised ourselves that this crisis will not define us.

The story behind the name Wayfind is rooted in the belief that no matter where we are in our journey, we can always find our way forward.

2022: We Found our Way 🌟

We decided to change things as we entered this new era of travel post Covid. We started the registration process of your new firm WAYFIND TRIPS PRIVATE LIMITED. We all also welcomed our first Child during the process.

The Core members of Wayfind were found this year.

• Abhishek Koshy: The First Candidate we interviewed. The man with a golden heart. Punctual, dedicated and determined, he holds the record for the fastest package sealed in our firm: First call and within 25 min Advance payment. The record was previously held by me at 35 mins. You cannot match his level of consistency, Our Rahul Dravid.
• Tanveer Mustafa: The last candidate for the interview. We had closed our interview for the day and walked in a guy in formals with his resume. We were already settled on the candidate to hire however he looked like the ticket worth buying. Since that fateful call, he has been an integral part of our team. He almost broke the record for the most number of packages in a month (13) held till date by Khushbu (16) in his first month itself. He is also known for his love for Biryani’s.
• Murugan S: The day he came for an interview, there was a load shedding (Power Cut) in our office. Our inverter ran dry. Murugan sat sweating and filling the interview form. Got rejected for the post of Accountant, bumped into me on the way down and now an integral part of our team. He has a talent of speech, he can sell you anything. He starred in Performer of the month thrice in a short span of 9 months. Legend has it whenever his guests arrive, it rains.
• R Sakthi: The backbone of our team. Hardworking and dedicated. The level of commitment with which he takes care of all the packages. You can relax if your package has Sakthi’s name on it. Our reviews are filled with his appreciation. Once in the Road Strike, he carried the client's luggage for 1km with him so that the client could catch his flight on time. He is our SakthiMan.

Our collective determination will propel us forward, reminding us that travel is not just a transaction but an integral catalyst for joy, growth, and understanding.

WayFind Trips was formed with an idea to help people find their way in this world like we did, one adventure at a time and let it be a reminder that no matter where we are in our journey, there is always a way forward.

As we look ahead to the future, we invite you to embark on new adventures with us, knowing that our dedication to excellence and our commitment to providing extraordinary travel experiences will always remain at the core of what we do.

Here's to the limitless possibilities that await us on this incredible journey of exploration, discovery, and connection.
