Aloke Bajpai - CEO
"Without Action, the world would still be an idea."
Aloke is the dynamo who drives iXiGO with his passion and a love for speed in usability and execution. His core focus is people, people and people and he believes lean-mean teams build the best products. If that does not tell you enough and you want to know more about him, then the best way to get his attention (besides bribing his team ;-)) is to give him his favourite Goverdhan special noodles.
Aloke evangelises Travel 2.0. He has got 7 years of managerial, operational, and product experience in the industry (he knows it really well by now!). There are few places in the world he has not visited or lived in, but he retains his Indian heart and spirit. When he is not thinking about iXiGO, Aloke can be found diving into a good book or a pool, depending on the weather.
Aloke holds an Electrical Engineering Degree from IIT Kanpur and an MBA from INSEAD where he also did a summer exchange at Wharton.
Rajnish Kumar - CTO
"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving it."
Would better be known as a Code Ninja when he is not dibbling and dabbling with his products and scourging the place for new technology. He has got an unrelenting passion for software engineering and system architecture. He is mean, lean and codes clean.
With 7 years spent on technology lifecycle management and several J2EE applications to his credit (Amadeus even uses to this date), he would love to explore the world of Artificial Intelligence with a highly rated real one in use.
He firmly believes in Never giving up, even when doing his favourite activities - Sleeping, Sketching, Graphic Design, Calligraphy, Fitness, Cricket, Travelling, Salsa and Vocals (phew.).
He has got a literary fluency in 5 languages and holds a Bachelor of Technology degree in Computer Science & Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT).
Dharmendra Yashovardhan - COO
"True courage is like a kite, contrary wind only makes it soar higher"
He is the nice guy of iXiGO. He Wanted to be a professor (family profession), a writer or a photographer, but fate willed otherwise!!
Yash (as we like to call him) has over 7 years of experience consulting for Airlines and Fortune 500 companies. He has graced 3 continents with his wisdom and brings oodles of smarts to the table. He loves computer simulations and is always game to discuss the finer points of a legal argument.
Here's a quick fact about him, he's been a state level table tennis player, and loves literature (well, that's 2 facts!). He holds an MBA from INSEAD and that doesn't even complete half of the valuable stuff he has put in. One of the original founders of iXiGO, if you see Yash and want to bribe him, a plate of momos is your best bet!
