Kanika Tekriwal
About
A woman who went from battling cancer at 21 to becoming a CEO of an aviation company a decade later, Kanika Tekriwal is a shining example of relentless hope and positivity.
She is the founder of 'JetSetGo', India's first marketplace for chartered jets and it's rightly called, 'The Uber of the skies'.
Kanika was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 21. But not only did it make her stronger, but it also helped her to achieve her dreams fearlessly. She tore into the aviation sector, traditionally perceived as a male bastion, to establish India's first and only marketplace for private jet and helicopter charters.
With a startup in Delhi, with three employees, the organization has now grown to a staff strength of hundred with offices in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and also overseas in Dubai and New York.
She caters to clients ranging from business executives visiting factories in the hinterlands to politicians making five pit-stops a day during elections to tourists who want to land at quaint spots off the commercial airline grid.
JetSetGo manages exclusive marketing contracts for 16 aircrafts- ranging from 'Falcons to Hawkers' to 'Challengers' with 7 to 18 seats.
