While the travel tech giants battle over flights and rental cars, a scrappy 76-person team is building a $11M revenue machine by solving a surprisingly complex problem: finding the perfect hotel near your exact point of interest. GetMiles, operating as SearchHounds, isn't just another booking site—it's a precision tool for the traveler who knows exactly where they want to be.

"GetMiles isn't competing on inventory—it's competing on intelligence. The hotel search space is crowded, but finding a hotel within a 5-minute walk of a specific landmark is where the real value lies."

The founder team is telling. Jigar Shah (CEO) and Paresh Jain (Co-founder) come from a business and strategy background, not travel tech. This isn't a travel industry insider trying to disrupt the space—it's a product-first team applying search intelligence to a vertical that's been underserved. The VP of Engineering, Chirayu Krishnappa, suggests they're building serious technical infrastructure, likely the map and proximity algorithms that power their core value proposition.

• The 'miles' keyword strategy is smart: they own the proximity search narrative by branding around distance-based finding
• Trustpilot score of 2.5/5 with only 7 reviews signals early-stage reputation building
• Tech stack includes Tailwind, Bootstrap, and Ant Design—modern, component-driven architecture for rapid iteration
• The 'undefined' country traffic suggests either a global audience or tracking limitations, which is common for early-stage tools
