Fifty agents have already signed up as partners for the new venture.
Apart from Kandivali, VeenaWorld outlets are set to open in Ghatkopar, Thane, Dadar, Dombivali and Vile Parle.
Speaking about the venture, in an exclusive interview with Express TravelWorld, Veena Sudhir Patil, said, “I firmly believe that travel should be affordable to everyone and it is not meant only for the rich and famous. Through my new company I wish to offer travel to one and all from the budget to the affluent traveler. My team is extremely passionate and this is my strength. My company is yet to begin but I am glad they have faith in me to start out on our new journey. I am also proud to say we did not poach anyone from Kesari Tours but people came along only on pure trust. We will take a few months to settle but we have got tremendous support also from our trade partners.”
