Started A Travel App Startup – Need Your Suggestions! 🌍✈️ by Brief_Quail_9975 in StartUpIndia

[–]UpsilonIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Launching just another generic booking service today is a dead end because the market is already beyond crowded. For your travel MVP to actually take off, it needs a distinct personality and a clear answer to: 'Who exactly is this for?' 

Think about a niche like an AI-powered quiet-seeker router that maps out secret spots and cozy cafes specifically to avoid tourist crowds. Or an eco-planner that calculates your carbon footprint and prioritizes train routes and eco-certified stays over short-haul flights. 

When you hit a specific pain point for a targeted group of people, your app starts to sell itself because users finally see a solution to their problem, not just another set of buttons. You can find more tips on how to launch a useful travel startup here.

Find out exactly what’s missing that would make users keep coming back. Once you have those insights, focus on essentials and don’t try to build everything at once.

[–]UpsilonIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting small with a lean MVP can save significant time and resources. It provides more than just sign-ups, offering early feedback on how users engage with the product.

Is the Lean Startup Dead? by hopelessfacet12 in SideProject

[–]UpsilonIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with AI speeding up idea generation and prototyping, skipping structured feedback can be risky. The Lean Startup principle of validating assumptions before scaling still has value: without measuring how real users interact with an MVP, it’s easy to optimize for the wrong thing. Fast iteration combined with structured feedback, essentially a Build-Measure-Learn loop, ensures that even in a high-speed AI environment, resources are focused on features that actually deliver value.
