Naren Shaam had the idea for GoEuro after a 4 month trip through 14 European countries in 2010-2012. GoEuro launched in 2013 as a search engine that allows users to find travel options from hundreds of providers across thousands of transportation points like airports, bus stations and rail stations. The company aims to integrate more travel providers and use its large dataset to improve search, routing and the mobile experience for easy and convenient multi-modal trip booking.
