Our Story
It all started with a cab ride.
Not a business meeting.
Not a carefully written business plan.
Just a family of four travelling to attend a wedding in 2019.
Like most people at the time, we had recently started using Ola and Uber. The convenience itself still felt fascinating—open your phone, book a cab, and within a few minutes, a car is standing right outside your home.
That day, as we sat in the cab and headed towards our destination, we started talking about exactly that.
It all started with a cab ride in 2019Technology is changing everything, isn't it?
And somewhere between that conversation, curiosity took over. We started asking our driver questions:
- How does this business actually work?
- How much does a driver earn?
- How do Ola and Uber make money?
- What are the expenses?
- Is it actually profitable?
- How often do you get rides?
What started as a casual conversation slowly turned into a full discussion about the business behind the ride. And then, somewhere along that journey, an idea struck us.
Wait… why can't we do this too?
At that time, we didn't even own a car. For years, our family had been thinking about buying one, but buying a car was a big financial decision for us.
And then came a simple thought: What if we bought a car—and instead of letting it remain parked most of the time, we put it to work? We could use it for our family whenever we needed it. And when we didn't need it, we could put it on travel platforms, take bookings and earn from it.
Maybe the earnings could help us pay the EMI. Maybe, eventually, it could even become a business. Honestly, we didn't know. But the idea was exciting enough to explore.
Asking the driver questions about the businessOne conversation changed everything.
The very next day, we found ourselves walking into a car showroom. We weren't there to buy a car. At least, not yet. We were just asking questions.
Which cars are best for the travel business? What is the EMI? Which category gets more demand? Sedan or a bigger vehicle? How does taxi registration work?
But sometimes, the best decisions begin as “We're just looking.”
Over the next few days, we researched, discussed, calculated and debated. And then we took a leap.
On 19th June 2019, we reached a significant milestone: we bought our very first car, a Mahindra Marazzo. It wasn't just the first car of Yashdeep Travels; it was the first car our family had ever owned.
And suddenly, the idea we had discussed with a stranger during a cab ride was sitting right outside our home.
Taking the leap: Walking into the showroomJust when things started moving, the world stopped.
By early 2020, we had started understanding the business. We could see the potential. We knew that if we continued building the right customer base, this could grow into something much bigger.
And then COVID arrived. Suddenly, there were no journeys. No travellers. No bookings. But the EMI still existed. For a new business that had only just started finding its footing, it was one of our toughest phases.
We had to pause. Adjust. Manage. And wait.
But somewhere during that difficult period, one belief remained:
When people start travelling again, we will be ready.
And that's exactly what we did.
A challenging chapter: Managing through the pandemicOne car became three.
When travel slowly returned to normal, so did our business. And this time, we were more confident.
In 2021, our family sat together and made another decision. Let's grow.
We added two more vehicles—a Ford Aspire and an Ertiga. One car had now become three.
Over time, we built our own customer base and gradually moved away from depending on external platforms. Our business grew through something we value even today: Trust.
Customers travelled with us. Then travelled with us again. Then recommended us to someone else.
And slowly, the small idea that started inside a cab was becoming something real.
Expanding the vision: Expanding our service fleetThe journey kept getting bigger.
As the years passed, our cars travelled further, our customers travelled more, and Yashdeep Travels continued growing with them. Today, we have served over 2,500+ happy customers and crossed 22+ lakh kilometres on the road.
Our services have expanded to cover Pan-India journeys, customized holiday packages, and end-to-end hotel assistance.
After years of service and several lakh kilometres on the road, we reached another important moment: It was time to begin again—with a new fleet.
Today, our journey continues with the Toyota Innova Crysta, Toyota Rumion and Hyundai Aura, helping us serve different travel needs with greater comfort and reliability.
But honestly, our story is not really about cars.
It's about an ordinary family sitting in the back of a cab… Asking a driver a few random questions… Getting curious about how something works…
Yashdeep Travels was never born from a perfect plan. It was born from curiosity. From a little bit of courage. And from one decision to take a chance on an idea.
Today, every new customer, every trip and every journey takes that story a little further. And perhaps that's what we love most about this business.
We may help people reach their destinations—but Yashdeep Travels itself is still on its journey.
And this is only the beginning….!
