Transcript

Vineet Gupta:So it's time for the lunch. So bon appétit. But I will give you some food for thought. So I'll just take 5 minutes before I leave you because I know everybody's feeling hungry, tired, and taking up coffees. So I just want to introduce Aeroprime, Aeroprime Group. We have been awarded 3 times consecutively as the leading passenger as well as the cargo GSA in India. So just a bit of the highlights of the services. We are into total cargo management, we are into cargo GSA, into airline representation, into regulatory market entry. So anything and everything that the airline would need to enter into the market. So, you know, we have been doing the sales, we are managing 25+ partner airlines. In the morning, one of our airlines, Salaam Air, Steve mentioned about us. So we are really proud in supporting Salam Air and to, you know, do the growth with them. And we are handling more than 25 tons of cargo annually for our partner airline. So we are globally present. We are present in India, India subcontinent for sure. And then we have now the companies in UAE, UK, Canada, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand. And in India we have more than 15 offices, so we can Look at any, you know, the airport, any international airport, we have the presence, we have the airlines operating out of those, and, you know, we are bringing that revenue to our partner airlines from there. So let me introduce something interesting for the airlines, and that's what I call it food for thought. So that's the GLID, which is the modern airline retailing for the airlines. So it's just a single connectivity where Aeroprime tech team connects with the airlines' reservation systems directly. And since the major players in India, all the OTAs, consolidators, tour operators, they're already connected with our system, the airlines get the direct access to the market bypassing the GDS. So this helps the airlines to save a lot of the distribution costs. It helps airlines not to go via the BSP route, or, you know, we have been talking about since morning about the LCCs and You know, how we can save the cost. So this is one way which is helping our partner airlines to save the cost in the Indian market. And this also opens up the possibilities of, you know, getting different currencies. So you can, you can do it in the Indian currency, Indian rupee. As you can understand, it's quite difficult to open a payment gateway in India or to get the payments in the Indian currency. So all of that can happen with Glid, various payment options, various payment providers that are being integrated. And for the airlines, it's a seamless distribution to all the— to their customers. So it's a single connection. You don't need to go to every single OTA in the Indian market. India is a huge, huge country, as you all know, and there are too many players into it. So this is where we bring into— we have integrated with all of them. And with that integration, once we plug into the airline, it goes out straight to all the OTAs. So your content is directly live. And then it's a very robust system where you can boost your revenues, you can do, you know, all the private fares, anything that you want to offer in the Indian market that can be offered through this platform. And it is scalable. So, you know, we are already handling 10+ airlines on this platform. There are more than 15+ providers already integrated in the Indian market with us, and that's where, you know, it is going on. And lastly, You know, the best part is that it does the customer service like we just heard in the Kiwi.com session, that the customer service is very important. And that's where with Glid, it comes along with the, you know, apart from the tech provider, we also handle all the customer queries with this. So this is it. So that's Aeroprime. Bon appétit. Have a wonderful lunch. See you around. Thank you. Thank you.
