Airbnb inspires me because its story is unlike any other, of turning an absurd idea into a global phenomenon. While most startups follow a predictable path of product launches and market trends, Airbnb began with strangers sleeping on air mattresses and cereal boxes funding their dreams. When they couldn’t afford to keep the business running, they sold boxes of cereal to raise funds .That kind of jugaad and creativity is rare. The idea of letting strangers stay in your home seemed absurd, even risky, with headlines about scams and trust issues piling up in the early days. But they didn’t give up and proved that even the most unconventional ideas can reshape the world if pursued with conviction.I read 'The Airbnb Story' book and it was really a guide on building a company from scratch.
