Airbnb CEO Exclusive: Brian Chesky On Becoming The 'Amazon Of Travel Services', AI & India Bet

Airbnb built a travel empire by leveraging people's homes, spare bedrooms & vacation homes. CEO Brian Chesky is aiming to go beyond accommodation and become the 'Amazon of travel services.' In this interview with Shereen Bhan, Chesky explains why Airbnb will soon be hosting independent hotels, his bet on India and why he is not satisfied with the company's current growth rate. In a freewheeling conversation, Chesky also discusses AI valuations, where he says "frothy is an under-statement" & how Silicon Valley has transformed into a more "political, divided and mature" place in the last 17 years.
