"We have observed that India-specific travel websites are largely content providers of information on catalogues of travel agencies, and are all targeting the corporate or package tours, hardly looking at the Individual traveller and his needs," said Mr. Manoj Gursahani, CEO of Travelmartindia. "More than this, Travelmartindia.com is designed to address the Indian ethos & patriotism & is keen to get the 'first mover' off the 'starting block' as India's first vertical E-commerce Travel Portal."

Continuing, Gursahani said "We aim to achieve and provide 100% World class customer service using latest technologies in product development and delivery. Our entire operations is automated with customised software and equipments, using the latest state-of-the-art client server architecture running on Windows NT platform. Our team of knowledgeable programmers, developers, graphic artists and project leaders use dynamic web site technology and electronic commerce  software to minimize cost and maximize quality and customer service."
