What do you used to do before the invent of irctc.co.in, redbus.in, makemytrip.com, bookmyshow.com, eBay.in or several other portals which bring all the stakeholders at one platform and make the services centralized? Well most of us used to pay a hefty sum to the brokers or we used to avail the services by facing lot of hassles. Before the birth of these portals it used to be very difficult for us to know about all the information about all the available options. Well nobody ever thought that this information would be just a click away. Instead of running from shop to shop to know about the availability of such services these portals give you the overall picture and provide us lot of options to choose from.
Centralization of things be it offline or online brings better price discovery as well as efficiency into the system, but the ever increasing e-savvy population demands for online services. As the internet penetration is increasing at the rapid pace the need for such services which are online in nature is increasing in the direct proportion. The common link between all the above mentioned revolutionary ideas is the nature of these services i.e. online.
One more such revolutionary idea is http://www.irtex.in/ , it is in area of logistics sector, this idea claims to bring efficiency into the system. It is a brainchild of 3 young highly energetic and ambitious entrepreneurs from IIT Bombay. The idea is to bring all the stakeholders of the road freight industry such as shippers, booking agents, transport houses and the companies on to a common platform. Irtex is India’s first organized freight booking service and they want to become the biggest aggregator of truck or freight in the county.
All these services are bridging the gap between the next gen population of the country & the available services and are the next wave of growth in India. Next Gen prefers to bring e tickets to train, planes or even cinema halls.
