Strategic Mandate: My Travel

BCG Matrix MCDA ClimateTech

"Delivering 100k ton carbon reduction proof and 25% corporate travel cost savings."

The Mess

An AI startup had a $2M investment but was losing money on a B2C model that people wanted for free.

The Big Shift

Recognized early that the real AI moat in India is bringing intelligence to the data (B2B). Executed a strategic pivot from B2C to B2B2C, securing corporate partnerships by proving carbon reduction metrics.

The Win

Saved the pilot partner 25% on costs and cut carbon by 100,000 tons.
