Bag2Bag is moulding your stay per your pocket. Enabling people to make their stay ‘Smart and Innovative’ by making it affordable and versatile as customers per check-in/check-out. We are targeting startups/entrepreneurs, they book hotel room for their stay and pay only for the time they have to stay smart.

What is the revenue model? What is the logic behind it? What is the model you are following – Free / Freemium / Premium etc. ? Explain your thought process. 
With the margin of 5-25% we are generating revenue for customers, with our startups/entrepreneurs partners we have hospitality rates same for travellers with a dynamic pricing engine embedded into system.

We are building brand and delivering value not just to our customers even our partners (hotels and corporates).
1. By increasing RevPAR for hotels and occupancy rate.
2. By reducing effort corporates are investing to arrange hospitality and space.

We are targeting one day visitors who travel for 1 day which includes pilgrims, backpackers, entrepreneurs, pharmacy medical representatives, sales and marketing team of small medium enterprises.

In this era of startups and small medium enterprises, we will be the one stop solution for easier and smarter stay by providing Mini-stay, Night-Stay, & customized stay with flexible Check-in Check-out time.

Everything around us progressed so fast and so we are trying to progress not only in our space but our limit is now spread across multiple cities in India and in some cases even the world has become our home. We have identified an open space in the field of hospitality & filling that with our innovative idea to serve a need in society. Today, uncounted people are spending their hard earned money on staying overnight or more in the hotels for their various needs. Be it a business trip, educational trip, religious trip or more, hotel stay is required for everyone.
Bag2Bag LogoThe mode of travels and travelers are increasing everyday & so are hotel properties to complete the need of providing a comfortable stay. We feel, there are better ways to complete the need to stay across the nation and the globe. So we have introduced smart stay enabling people to choose as per their pocket governs. Someone rightly said, “Make your expenditure as your investment”.
We are not only making the people financially powerful by not just saving their money instead making it an investment for their own. Additionally enabling hotels fill their unoccupied rooms everyday. Hotels, even with their unmatched luxury fail to increase the occupancy rate because travelers can not afford high per day charges for the same but due to our initiative we are targeting to increase hotel’s occupancy rate also so they can get proper return of their investment.

What is the success story of your startup in your own words? 
Moulding customer’s stay as per their pocket. Our mission is stay smart pay smart.

If we consider Bag2Bag as successful then there may not be no more targets, instead we have achieved huge milestones as a startup like we have got 20 cities covered major ones (Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Chandigarh, Jaipur) as of now and expanding everyday.

We have many more milestones to go. Our success story is in making but we are cruising towards our mission. Our milestones tells well about how we have worked extremely hard to make this innovation a reality in everyday life. Our tie ups with the hotels rose exponential because property owners are understanding the importance of smart stay. We have started serving a few customers and glad to get amazing responses by them. Our back-end support is strengthening in pace. Our success would be counted when we achieve a few more milestones when the chronicle would be written by others instead us.
