Vacation rental company Airbnb Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Brian Chesky on said the company is confident of a boom in India, citing its burgeoning population, vibrant hospitality culture, and digital-savvy youth demographic.

Speaking exclusively to CNBC-TV18's Shereen Bhan, Chesky, said, "...my prediction is that Airbnb will boom in India, it's, you know, an emerging market for us. We have very low awareness, very low penetration, but the enthusiasm is high."

Airbnb recently launched Icons, a new category of experiences hosted by renowned figures from various fields, on Thursday, May 2. Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor is among the first 11 Icons, offering an overnight stay at her family home in Chennai, where guests can learn her beauty secrets and taste her favourite South Indian dishes.

Listen in to the conversation.
