FlyNava Technologies

FlyNava is a start-up building innovative airline solutions. We take up tough and challenging legacy problems and have come up with Jupiter, our solution to the Airline Pricing Challenge. At FlyNava we believe in changing paradigms of aviation industry by applying fresh thinking to industry's unsolved problems. We began our journey with the launch of Jupiter, an industry-first airline pricing solution in the big data analytics space, in April 2017. It was designed to solve the strategic and tactical challenges faced by the airline industry while deciding on the pricing, thus reducing the complexity and increasing the profitability for them. We are a young company with a current crew of 25 people. Our team is a right blend of industry veterans and fresh talent from leading colleges forming the heart and soul of our organization. Our experts are from airline pricing, product management, research, data science, program management and subject matter experts. FlyNava defines two key themes: focus on airlines (fly) and (nava) which means new, innovation and denotes 9 in Sanskrit. Thus, we have identified 9 distinct, tough problems faced by airlines and started afresh to build new solutions for them. Given the availability of right technologies (Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Analytics) and platforms (IBM Bluemix, Microsoft Bizspark) we are confident that now is the right time to take these problems head on. Watch out for our advanced version in February 2018 and join us in our journey in building such a product which would be one of its kind.
