UNKNOWN DESTINATIONS PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

Link to National Geography Article The start-up is creating an innovative service which bridges the gap between the untapped cultures and communities and avid travellers and explorers. We aim at discovering these unknown locations, from scratch,and helping lost cummunities get a second source of livelihood through our initiative. We not only discover, but we halp the communities build skills, help operate and then transition for independent operations on defined SoPs. We are the only organization which has an innovation like this in India, working in multiple locations without any distiction of caste, creed and communities . currently located in about 10 states of India with over 150 destinations. We have done POC at more than 10 communities across different states in India and it worked phenomenally well, making the model scalable and replicable. In the coming 2 years, we have planned to work with 1786 more commmunities across the nation. Post that, in the next 2-5 years, work with 11,231 families. BOT Model: Our strict BOT (Build, Operate & Transfer) model has worked well which involves capacity building & training of local who end up becoming the stakeholder of the enterprise. There are approx. 1.6 Mn culturally rich untapped houses in rural India which match to NotOnMap concept. • There are over 230 Mn travellers looking for such accommodation and destination but it becomes difficult for them to search & find it out as there are no focussed portal or organization offering the specific product ONLY.The market at this level is highly unstructured and very large as well. We can easily organize and structure it based on our experience. On the basis of this opportunity on both the fronts, the model created is sustainable. With relevant skills, training manual, experienced based process to onboard new community, it is easy for us to replicate our model in other states. We have taken into account the contextual variation of states, tribes, communities and accordingly modified & customized the model by keeping in mind various level of variations & differences. Our years of research along with practical knowledge of running so many communities has led to a niche model which can be replicated
