New Delhi: Leading travel portal BigBreaks, which provides flights, hotels, holiday packages, insurance, among others, on Thursday announced its target turnover of Rs. 1200 crore within the next three years.

"Offering services online has its own challenges. One of the initial challenges was to decide upon the mode of operations. Once I had made up my mind that online was the way we were going, we actually set about putting together a technology team and also taking the time to educate ourselves on various technology-related issues," said Goswamy.
He highlights that in the last one year, the company has handled over 600 international holiday packages, and 850 domestic holiday packages.
The platform has its own proprietary software and technology since November 2016 and in a span of just about one year since its launch, it has already clocked a turnover of Rs 40 crore.
