Why AI-OTAs can't beat giants like MMT

Shreyan analyzes the travel industry, specifically why AI-native Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) face challenges in outperforming established players like MakeMyTrip (MMT). He discusses the issues of commission pressure, high Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC), and the risk of AI models being mere wrappers over existing OTA APIs, emphasizing the need for unique supply or irreplicable customer experience for defensible businesses.

Why insurance in India is a paradox

Shreyan explores the paradoxical nature of the Indian insurance sector, highlighting that while it's a significant asset manager's dream, it often becomes a consumer's nightmare due to issues like mis-selling, mispricing, and inefficient underwriting processes. He points out the challenges of regulatory barriers and building trust but expresses excitement for fearless founders aiming to disrupt this space, particularly in motor insurance.
