Flick My Trip

Nagpur gets pretty warm in the summer months, and that is usually when the phones here at Flick My Trip start ringing more often. We are just a small group of people working out of a basic office space here in the city, surrounded by folders and printouts of flight schedules. It is not like those big fancy travel agencies you see in movies with giant maps and globes everywhere. Our desks are mostly covered in sticky notes and half-empty water bottles. We spend a lot of time staring at screens, trying to figure out why a certain connection won't work or checking if a hotel still has a room left. It can be a bit stressful when a train is delayed or someone loses their booking, but we just pick up the phone and try to sort it out. There is no corporate script here. We just talk to people like they are our neighbors because, in a place like Nagpur, they usually are. We take our lunch breaks together and usually talk about our own weekend plans or where the best poha is being sold this week. Work is steady, and we prefer it that way. We don't have a big mission statement on the wall; we just have a list of things to do before the sun goes down and the office closes up for the night. It is just us, a few computers, and a lot of phone calls.
