The Curtain Raiser

With the advancement in technology travel has become easier, faster, and cheaper bringing the world close and thus the hospitality industry has become a crucial part of our everyday lives. We are constantly looking for means to satisfy our accommodation and food needs when traveling for business conferences, medical reasons, exams, vacations, and so on. Bag2Bag is one such travel tech start-up that understands the constantly evolving needs concerning the hospitality industry and is working actively towards providing a one-stop solution to all of the travel and hospitality-related needs of its users.

On the morning of 2nd November, Bag2Bag celebrated the relaunch of its website to mark an important milestone in its mission to fill in the untapped areas of the hospitality industry. The business initially started with its carefully curated short stay incorporating a pay-per-use model and is now aiming to expand with the plethora of accommodations it is introducing with its extended stay feature

Welcome to the relaunch event

The event was held at the office premises and hosted a number of social media influencers and hotel dignitaries who were welcomed by the Bag2Bag employees. They were served some refreshments upon their arrival. Soon the launch ceremony commenced which was hosted by  Mrs. Sandhya and Mrs. Swara.  They provided a hearty welcome to all the dignitaries by thanking them for their support,  provided a brief introduction about the company’s journey, and later asked Mr. Alok Mishra the co-founder and CEO of Bag2Bag.

The journey of Bag2Bag

Mr. Alok spoke in detail about the journey Bag2Bag embarked upon in the year 2019 and some of the hurdles the company faced along the way. The two major challenges that Bag2Bag had to overcome were societal acceptance of people regarding the concept of hourly short stays and the recent wave of the pandemic. Later he addressed how the company managed to bounce back from the pandemic that hurt the hospitality industry the most with the help of their dedicated and hardworking team, boosting the morale of employees. Speaking more about the purpose of Bag2Bag Mr. Alok said, “ we intend to create a hospitality offering application and organize all the hospitality-related services on an online platform alongside accommodations creating a holistic experience for users while providing add-on revenues for accommodation providers. This vision cannot be possible without the support of property owners to curate satisfactory experiences for the users and social media influences to reach out to society.  I believe we need to collaborate to make this a reality as our intent here is not just to make money but to create a much-needed revolution in the hospitality industry.”

Behind the scene

Following the speech on the intent of Bag2Bag and learning how this entrepreneurial dream was carved, dignitaries were given a sneak peek into the work culture in the Bag2bag office with a behind-the-scenes video showing the excitement that was building up in the office leading to the relaunch.

Our major goal is to make our extranet compatible with any API, PMS, and channel manager that is available and working so our accommodation partners can operate and collaborate with us with ease in terms of inventories, amenities, experiences, and so on. Our website is compatible with mobile as well while maintaining a user-friendly android and iOS app. In upcoming features, you can expect a travel blogger cum social media experience with our website wherein users can share their travel stories, images, videos, and many more creating almost a social media replica on our website.”

With this improved website, users will be able to choose from a variety of accommodation options such as homestays, resorts, hotels, service apartments, villas, cottages, and guest houses for a wholesome experience.” He also elaborated on the new food and beverages feature the website is providing that allows users to prebook their meals from in-house restaurants while booking their stay.  Mr. Anurag emphasized on the “experience” feature on the website that will be available soon stating this is the company’s attempt to organize the activities segment of travel.
