Sam is an Entrepreneur at Heart. He started his Business Career at the age of 22 when he established his First Travel Business in New York City. This was in 1994, when the Travel Industry was going through  major turmoil with airlines eliminating commissions for Travel Agents. Sam’s innovative approach was to market specially negotiated Net Consolidator fares from Airlines at Bulk rates to Travel Agents. Sam utilized cutting edge technology to aggregate these fares from various consolidators. These Fares were then made available for convenient booking to Travel Agents.

In the late 90s Sam co-founded a Travel Technology company (FareOne) for managing complex Consolidator Fare data. The Technology was highly successful and the company (FareOne) was soon acquired by a British Travel Investment Fund.

In 2000 Sam envisioned a Technology Company with E-Commerce in mind. The purpose was to create a technology model where through a single platform all distribution channels could be managed – B2B, B2C and B2A2C (Business to Affiliates to Consumer). This complex platform took 3 years to develop and now Fareportal has developed a Technology which is unique in many regards. Through Sam’s leadership and vision Fareportal continues to build pioneering products and sales continue to rise.

Recently, Sam has made an acquisition in Corporate Travel Management domain. This company is being run successfully by a professional management team.

Sam is involved in many charitable causes and has an avid interest in Philosophy.
