From the hangars of India's bustling airports to the boardrooms of the world's aviation giants, Kanika Tekriwal has charted an extraordinary journey as the CEO and co-founder of JetSetGo, India's premier private aviation company. With a vision to democratize private air travel, Kanika is redefining luxury and efficiency in the skies, making her a beacon of entrepreneurial spirit and innovation.

Kanika's passion for aviation took flight at a tender age of 17, leading her to establish JetSetGo at just 22, amidst battling cancer and overcoming societal expectations. Her resolve, fuelled by a vision to transform India's aviation landscape, has led JetSetGo to become the go-to service for India's ultra-high net worth individuals, offering unparalleled luxury and cutting-edge technology in private air travel.

With significant investments into technology, process and continual resource training, JetSetGo is pioneering the private aviation category and raising the standard for all consumers. Kanika strongly believes that a market is not simply taken over, but rather it is created and curated, nurtured and nourished, and allowed to thrive. With such vision and ambition, JetSetGo looks primed to solve new challenges as they arise, always ensuring their customer stays one step ahead and that too in the lap of luxury.

Kanika has been recognised as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, Forbes Asia’s 30 under 30, BBC’s 100 most inspiring woman in the world, CNN’s 20 Under 40, and The National Entrepreneurship Award in e-commerce by GOI among many accolades.
