SALT

Mahatma Gandhi’s DANDI MARCH in 1930 found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation against the British government in India. Gandhi started his famous salt march (Dandi March) from his ashram in Sabarmati to the Gujarati coastal town of Dandi. On 6 April he reached Dandi, and openly violated the law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water. It was a smart political move which brought all the people together by a non-descript item like salt that we use daily.

Airbnb founders Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia just moved from New York. Without employment, they were having trouble paying their rent and were looking for a way to earn some extra cash. They noticed that all hotel rooms in the city were booked, as the local Industrial Design conference attracted a lot of visitors. The youngsters saw an opportunity.
