Ms. Liberatha Kallat, Chairperson & Managing Director, Dreamfolks Services Limited, is recognized as a pioneer of India’s airport and travel services ecosystem. Since founding the company in 2008, she has led the company with a bold vision and long-term conviction, transforming a fragmented industry into a structured, technology-driven ecosystem that redefines how travel & lifestyle experiences are accessed and delivered.
Her deep understanding of the airport services landscape was shaped during her tenure at Plaza Premium, where she understood the challenges and needs of the airport services sector. Drawing on her experience across leading Indian and multinational companies including Indian Hotels Company, Taj Hotels & Resorts, PepsiCo, and Pernod Ricard – she combined deep hospitality expertise with strategic foresight to build a scalable, future-ready business model.
At a time when airport lounge access and travel privileges operated in silos, the idea of integrating them under a single technology platform was unheard of in India. Liberatha identified the opportunity to create an organized, asset-light ecosystem that would connect service providers with banks, card networks, airlines, fintechs, OTAs, and corporates – seamlessly and at scale to provide travel & lifestyle benefits to end-customers.
What began with lounge access has today evolved into a 20+ service platform spanning 3,000+ touchpoints across 100+ countries. In 2022, under Liberatha’ s leadership, DreamFolks was listed on both BSE and NSE. The listing was not just a financial milestone. It signaled trust in a technology led business built by a woman in a space long dominated by traditional players.
Her journey stands as a powerful example of how innovation and strategic clarity can reshape an industry. In recognition of her impact, Liberatha Kallat has been conferred the Woman Icon in Technology award at the Women Icon Awards 2026 – an honour that celebrates not just leadership, but the courage to build something transformative from the ground up.
