TakeMeFar began with a promise—a promise from the founder to take his grandparents on a trip they’d remember for a lifetime. It all started during his 12th grade when his mother promised that if he scored more than 95% in his exams, she would sponsor a family trip to Rajasthan, with his grandparents, mother, younger brother, and himself. That dream trip became his motivation. Day in and day out, he pushed himself, studying relentlessly and cycling 20-25 kilometers daily to attend coaching classes. When the results came, he had achieved 96%, and the excitement of planning a trip to Udaipur, Jaisalmer, and Jaipur took over.
For his grandparents, this trip meant even more. They had never flown in an airplane before, so he booked a flight from Delhi to Udaipur, hoping to give them that incredible experience. But life had its own plans. His grandfather was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, and just before the trip, his grandmother fell ill. His heart sank as they canceled the trip, and all those plans for Jaisalmer’s desert safari, Jaipur’s Chokhi Dhani, and the elephant ride to Amber Fort faded away. He had dreamed of showing them the world, and now it seemed that dream was slipping through his fingers.
Yet, he couldn't let go. The founder convinced his family to allow his grandparents to at least experience a short trip to Udaipur, even if it meant just a two-day getaway. His grandparents were hesitant, especially with all the cancellations, but he finally persuaded them to sit on that flight and take that trip. It was a small victory but a memorable one. They may not have seen everything Rajasthan had to offer, but they had a taste of it, and he was able to fulfill part of his promise.
A few days later, he sat with his grandmother, reflecting on the trip. She looked at him and said, “Bete ne Pradhan ji ko jane ke pehle hawaijahaaj mai baitha dia” ("My son made sure Pradhan ji (my grandfather) got to sit in a plane before he left us”). Her words hit deeply, filling his heart with a happiness rarely felt. This wasn’t just about travel; it was about giving back to those who raised us, about making their dreams come true, even if it was just a small moment of joy.
After his grandfather passed, he realized that time doesn’t wait. The moments we miss are gone forever. That’s when he decided to create TakeMeFar. He wanted to build a way for every child to fulfill those dreams for their parents and grandparents without delay, without wondering if they can afford it, without the stress of planning every little detail. At TakeMeFar, they do the heavy lifting so that families can just enjoy the journey together.
The company operates with a 1:6 captain-to-senior ratio to make sure that every parent and grandparent on their trips is cared for, safe, and treated like family. The founder's goal is simple: to provide the same love and care he would want for his own grandparents. TakeMeFar is not here to maximize profits. Instead, they charge only what’s needed to cover costs, ensuring that trips remain affordable for everyone, regardless of financial background. Coming from a middle-class family, he understands the importance of budgets. That's why pricing includes everything needed, from comfortable travel to wholesome meals and engaging experiences, without any hidden costs.
TakeMeFar is not just a travel company. It’s a heartfelt mission to make every senior citizen feel valued, cherished, and cared for. They don’t see this as a business; they see it as a responsibility—a responsibility to bring joy, dignity, and adventure into the lives of the elderly, just like the founder tried to do for his grandparents.
