What: Bus Booking

Who: Phanindra Sama

When: Since 2006

Funded by: Self, Profitable now.

Revenue: Commissions from each bookings

Big Idea: “Each bus operator is so small that he can’t build his own IT system, so I thought it would be a good ide

a to build a system for them,”

In Media: Dare, Forbes, Yourstory, and more

My take: Redbus needs no review. They started with an unproven idea and through their relentless execution of that idea have made them first choice for bus booking. I use them every time I want to book a bus. This business is operationally intensive, but the hard part is done, and this startup is ready to take off.
