Kanika got a boarding school education in South India. Born in an orthodox Marwari family, her father was running a real estate and chemical business. graduate, co-founded her company with her friend Sudheer Perla. “We are looking to democratise air travel,” adds Kanika. Kanika envisions to tap the third dimension - the sky - to its fullest potential, and make chartered air travel the future of transport for Indians who value time and convenience. With the 'SMART' management technique, maintenance prevention, and prediction technologies, the startup offers safety and on-time arrival like never before. Similarly, if the customer contacts an operator, they would pitch an aircraft solely operated by that operator,” Kanika explains.Īfter working close to 20 months behind the scenes, Kanika launched JetSet go for private jet and helicopter charter. “Due to sheer lack of transparency and non-availability of charter planes, customers pay astronomical amounts. She adds that anyone who wanted to use a private jet would have to contact a broker or a private operator, who would recommend jets or helicopters, which give them maximum commission, irrespective of the client’s requirements. When she realised the industry of privately chartered planes were filled with brokers and operators - causing a lot of frustration - Kanika decided to change it. In fact, it also reduces the cost of chartered aircraft substantially, making them more readily and frequently accessible to flyers. This, in turn, helps reduce maintenance cost, increases airtime, decreases ground time, thereby ensuring profitability. It uses a mix of tech, unique maintenance procedures, and SMART management - all of which are developed by proprietary properties of JetSetGo. The startup is now pioneering air taxis with intra-city connectivity in India using electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
