Divyank Turakhia, founder and CEO of Skenzo and Directi, is known for his extensive travels around the world.
When not managing the multi-million dollar domain empire, Turakhia enjoys to hop on a plane and take off. As a licensed pilot, he enjoys the physical freedom away from digital constraints.
This time, however, Turakhia decided to play it safe.
“I know most of you believed that I really hopped on a helicopter and took a trip at 600ft from New York to Los Angeles”, said Turakhia.
“The truth is, with the gasoline prices these days, even I cannot afford such a trip. Have you seen Skenzo payouts recently?” he quipped.
Apparently, Divyank Turakhia used Google Earth to gather a series of aerial views of the trip’s landmarks, then posted them on Facebook.
“I only took off vertically at the helipad, we took a few pictures of me wearing the headset and looking out the window, then used some green screen overlays to make it look as if I really flew over the continental United States. Sorry to disappoint you!” said Turakhia.
Such digital manipulation of images isn’t shocking; however, it’s the first time that it’s used in domaining circles, at that scale. Hopefully, gasoline prices will drop and Divyank will be able to make the trip for real, soon.
had me fooled – i invited him to dinner when he posted the famous HOLLYWOOD sign on his FB page….
