I think I need not to explain about what EXPEDIA is, as most of the readers here are avid travelers. Apart from from a Traveler, I am also a Software Professional and very much excited about Engineering center of Expedia in India. Last night, I was there at Launch party of Expedia and here are some of the photographs from the same. Let's checkout this Photo Journey and know more...
Whenever it comes to Hotel Bookings, various Flights, interesting Travel Deals, well-researched Holiday Packages or Weekend Gateways; Expedia is one of the popular names which comes in mind...
Above is a photographs from yesterday's party at Expedia office in Gurgaon. Lara Dutta was invited for official launch of their new office in Cyber City. Different performances were organized from different parts of the world, although event company was extremely inefficient in running all these shows smoothly. It seemed that all the performances were only for Lara Dutta and Media People :)
Expedia has got a really cool office in Gurgaon DLF Cyber-City... Above photograph is shot inside new office of Expedia in India. This was shot around one of the desks, where folks were enjoying their drinks on official launch of new workspace in Gurgaon. Expedia Gurgaon office is located on top-most floor of a 22 floor building(5C, DLF Cyber City, Gurgaon).

I am not sure that how many travelers know about the fact that Expedia was started by Microsoft and later spun off as a multi-billion dollar company because it was 'no longer about software intensive technology' and they were 'concerned that they would not do their best at this.'
Expedia is an Internet based travel website, in fact group of websites, based in the United States of India with localized websites for more than 20 countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, UK, US...
Various parts of the office are known from different country names, which is an interesting idea !
Expedia does bookings for airline tickets, hotel reservations, car
rentals, cruises, vacation packages and various attractions and services
via the World Wide Web and telephone travel agents. This new development center will take care of most of the back-end work for various Expedia Websites.
It was wonderful party at Expedia with performers from various parts of the world, including Indian faces !
Now Indian travelers can proudly say that many of the technological wows on Expedia.com was researched by Indian Brains... Looking forward to Expedia expansions in India and such more for Indian Travelers, specifically.

Lara Dutta was there to officially launch Expedia Office, but hardly anybody could see her as all media folks were surrounding her. I could manage to click this one while she was enjoying one of the performances...
Food was amazing great at Expedia Party and all of us had great time interacting with Shantanu there...
