Meet
Kanika Tekriwal
A fighter all the way, she claims to
have jet fuel running through her
veins while breathing and eating
planes. A relentless pursuer of
hope filled with ever optimism,
her focus is on bringing the luxury
back into business aviation
and the experience back into life.
Having started her career with India
Bulls Aviation and working for
close to a decade in the industry
in both India and UK she is determined
to revolutionize the private

world comes down crashing for them and some people die the
moment the doctors tells them there is little time left. For Kanika

of 28 and fully recovered, Kanika is the Founder and CEO of

80% of India’s private jet and helicopter fleets. JetSetGo is considered
to be India’s first and possibly the only marketplace for private jets
and helicopters that enables the users to search and charter aircrafts
across India. She started her company in the year 2013 and it has
been growing ever since.
