Thrillophilia.com: Kindling the potential of Indian Adventure Tourism
“If you do not dive into water, you will never learn to swim” says Abhisek Daga, the 26 year old thrill-o-preneur from Bangalore. The business we are talking about is all about THRILL.
The adventure tourism company, www.thrillophilia.com is itself a passionate entrepreneurial journey by Abhishek along with three of his friends Chitra Gurnani, Vikram Arora and Abhishek Tripathi. The gang of four had a common virus called “Adventure” afflicted in them. Their company THRILLOPHILIA is all about pumping up the adrenaline in the Indian youth, meanwhile kindling the potential of the yet to be explored market called “The Indian Adventure Tourism”.
Though he was a software engineer at CISCO systems, his love over adventure has made this fitness freak to plunge into a new kinda business. Thrill-o-philes, as the foursome call themselves were joined by Saket Tandore then. The diversity in their respective vocations, be it Engineering, Management, Computer Sciences, Marine and Law helps them come up with out-of-the-box thinking to plug their problems with quick business solutions.
Adventure tourism in India is largely an unorganised sector which has a lot of business potential, though it’s not put to test in a massive scale. Abhishek’s technological edge has put the viral WEB2.0 strategy into the adventure tourism.
The THRILL QUOTIENT is much higher in foreign tourists. “The potential for adventure tourism to add to the tourism economy in India is very high and this is the right time to make the plunge”, says Abhishek.
Thrillophilia is based out of Bangalore with back-end office at Jaipur. Their portal clocking 500 hits a day has eyed Hyderabad, Chennai, Orissa, Jharkhand and Rajasthan as their next destination with dreams to make their venture go global in the years to come.
Talking about competition, he laughs it off saying, “We thrive on competition and it pumps our urge to be ahead all the time”.
Thrillophilia currently has five partners and two employees working for the company. Open culture, equal opportunity and the right to question are the traits that are driving their culture. In a start-up where employee strength is low, work culture plays an important role and this startup pays specific importance to it.
Their strategy to take customer feedback with an additional pinch of salt is one of their pillars of success. “Not to forget that Mother Nature is the only inventory for anybody; we are a highly GREEN Company and follow the same to protect the natural inventory” Abhishek quips to Startupstory.in.
For the adventurists planning their own trips in India, they provide a link Adventure Bible with information about more than 500 destinations available in India to explore.
For people dreaming to startup Abhishek’s tells “Just do it. Patience is the best virtue of any startup. Proper planning, impeccable executions are the keys to success. Diving in new water is always difficult but not impossible”.
