From survival to strategy, from chaos to clarity, every year at Pickyourtrail has been a new chapter of resilience. And a north star like this at the start of the year is what guides us all at Pickyourtrail to collectively work towards the same goal. 2025, here we come! #Reflections #YearOfUdaan #Pickyourtrail #Travel #2025

Reflections is our quarterly all hands and over the years we have had themes for each year. 2021 - we were just getting out of the pandemic and literally rebuilding from what was left 2022 - things were a lot more secure, we had gone all in on Maldives as a market and we had to make that count! 2023 - the year of revenge travel in its fullest, while we were scavening in in the previous years, 2023 was about going back to the basics - training, focus on product, getting our act together in long haul 2024 - the Pendulam had swung too much on the side of growth and speed, this was the year of consolidation - hiring senior folks, focussing (and partly fixing) culture, processes, getting prod/biz/tech to row in the same direction, establishing rituals etc. the universe threw a googly when Maldives fiasco happened - we had a mini pandemic - 35% of our revenues used to come from Maldives and it went to near zero in Jan/Feb/March. but the team pulled through quite well. Huge shout out to all our partners, customers and well wishers for all your support through 2024! Going into 2025 - the biz is in a state where we gotta just show up and do the unglamorous stuff, no fancy launches, nothing new - just the same old markets but doing them well and doing them more. thats going to be the theme for this year - the year of Udaan.
