"As part of our expansion plans and the type of growth we are witnessing as a company, we will be doubling our staff strength in next three years. We will also open an office in South East Asia," Holiday IQ.com Founder and CEO Hari Nair said.

The next round of funding could be after 18 to 24 months, he added.
On being asked about the business model of the company Nair said: "We follow 'cost per search model'. We don't transact with the consumers."
