About Jetsetgo
Fuelled by a common purpose, young entrepreneur Kanika Tekriwal, with co-founder Sudheer Perla, launched JetSetGo in 2012. The idea was to create India’s first transparent marketplace for private aviation – both executive jets and helicopters. Using new software solutions developed in-house, the company created a buzz in the industry, and the young idealistic founders created waves with their disruptive approach. It soon became apparent that the problem was the fleet of available private jets in India was just too small to supply the thriving marketplace they sought to create. With the costs and complexities of aircraft importation and ownership proving a major barrier to expanding India’s private jet fleet, JetSetGo added a new dimension to the business: fleet operations..
Now one of the largest NSOP operators of private jets, mostly on state-of-art aircraft management and maintenance contracts, JetSetGo leads the growth of sophisticated private aviation solutions, from aircraft ownership and management to charter services and Membership programs for frequent flyers. Today the company is turning its attention to future advanced air mobility solutions using the next generation of electric and vertical take-off air taxis, JetSetGo continues to innovate and push the boundaries with the same energy and determination that propelled its visionary founders in 2012.
