When three friends went on a holiday to South Africa, they planted the seed for a company called BigTree Entertainment. One friend quit his job to become CEO, while the others took on technology and finance roles. The company acquired ticketing software and became India's largest online entertainment ticketing platform. Over time, it expanded into event ticketing, partnered with films and sports leagues, grew its mobile user base, and raised funding from investors, transforming the ticketing industry in India.
