Description

In this episode, we dive into the future of travel infrastructure with Sarosh Waghmar, the founder and CEO of Spotnana. With over two decades of experience in the travel industry, Sarosh is on a mission to completely transform how travel is booked, managed, and experienced—starting with business travel.

Spotnana is rebuilding the foundational systems behind the travel industry, creating an open, API-first platform that empowers others to innovate on top of it. Whether you’re booking through a travel agency, a company portal, or a partner app, Spotnana’s infrastructure powers the seamless experiences behind the scenes.

Sarosh shares how his obsession with improving travel experiences—rooted in his early days as a travel agent—led him to create Spotnana. He breaks down how the platform works, the major inefficiencies in legacy systems, and why he believes the travel industry is long overdue for change.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why travel still lags behind in user experience—and how Spotnana is changing that
  • How Spotnana’s “Travel as a Service” platform empowers other companies to build on top of it
  • How Sarosh fosters innovation and builds a mission-driven culture at Spotnana
