2) RedBus

RedBus ranks 2 on this list. It was founded by Phanindra Sama, Sudhakar Pasupunuri and Charan Padmaraju. Its genesis is nothing short of a tale that changed the face of online travel in India. They were the pioneers of online bus ticket booking in India. The thought of providing people with the option of booking tickets online came to them from their personal experience of not getting bus tickets one Diwali. Their objective was to make people get bus tickets online, without leaving the comforts of their homes and providing them with tickets when they needed it the most. Fast Company quotes "Customers can view open seats from multiple operators, purchase tickets, and post ratings. Meanwhile, bus operators can track seat availability in real time, and travel agents can pre-book passengers.”
