The Entrepreneurial Journey to CordiantOne
As a serial entrepreneur with over 35 years in technology, I've built and scaled multiple successful companies. But it was during hundreds of hotel stays across the globe that I discovered hospitality's most pressing problem.
Luxury guests paying $500+ per night still struggle with fragmented, friction-filled digital experiences. Password resets, repeated information, disconnected systems—the very experiences that would doom any consumer technology company somehow persist in hospitality.
My co-founder Dilip Radhakrishnan and I approached this challenge with fresh eyes. Not as hospitality insiders, but as entrepreneurs who understand that technology should disappear into perfect service.
That outsider perspective revealed what industry veterans couldn't see: hotels don't need better apps—they need an Everything App that transforms their own domain into a comprehensive digital concierge.
