From flights to philanthropy: Ebookers founder Dinesh Dhamija talks luck, Romania and why Britain’s entrepreneurs shouldn’t be too bothered about the General Election | City A.M.: "But Dinesh Dhamija, the multi-millionaire son of an Indian diplomat who, in 1999, founded online travel agency Ebookers, says the situation has actually never been that different. It was back in 1980 that he and his wife Tani began selling travel tickets from a kiosk at Earl’s Court Tube station.“She knew far more about travel because she’d been an air hostess – I could see the bigger picture. But it was a case of bootstrapping. You couldn’t get any money from banks and we had no parents or fairy godmother giving us a pile of capital.” "
