India’s TravelTech market now reaches far beyond flight and hotel bookings. Online travel, hotels, mobility, travel finance, visa services, travel software, and holiday experiences now form a much larger digital ecosystem. 

Inc42 tracks about 1,562 TravelTech startups in India, including 261 funded companies and more than USD 19.2 billion in cumulative funding. The online travel market reached about USD 23.1 billion in 2025 and could rise to USD 33.9 billion by 2030.

The market also shows a clear shift toward specialized travel products. Large platforms focus on scale, while newer companies target visas, travel credit, group holidays, and AI-based trip planning. Here are 10 major names that stand out in the Indian TravelTech sector in 2026.

OYO Takes Hospitality Tech Beyond Hotel Bookings

OYO remains one of India’s largest hospitality technology companies. Its business covers hotel aggregation, franchising, hotel management, and technology services. Inc42 places OYO’s cumulative funding at about USD 3.71 billion, which puts the company among the most funded names in India’s TravelTech sector.

OYO’s role now goes beyond a simple hotel reservation platform. Its technology supports hotel owners and helps OYO manage a large hospitality network across several markets.

MakeMyTrip Builds Scale Across Travel Categories

MakeMyTrip remains a major online travel platform with services across flights, hotels, buses, and holiday packages. Its Q1 FY27 results show USD 2.9 billion in gross bookings, a 19.9% year-over-year rise in constant currency, and 16.1% revenue growth in constant currency. Hotels and packages rose 21.3%, while bus ticketing rose 32.4%.

These figures show a wider travel mix rather than a business that depends only on air tickets. Hotels, buses, and other travel services now hold a larger place within the platform.

Rapido Pushes Mobility into the TravelTech Mix

Rapido sits at the intersection of mobility and TravelTech. The company raised USD 240 million in 2026 at a reported USD 3 billion valuation. Inc42 places its cumulative funding at about USD 1.53 billion.

The company has focused on a broad mobility network and stronger technology. Its position matters for TravelTech since transport often forms a key part of a trip, especially within cities and across short distances.

ixigo Targets the Mass Travel Market

ixigo covers trains, flights, buses, and hotels through one digital platform. The company reported 544 million annual active users in FY25. Its strategy also places a strong focus on artificial intelligence and digital travel decisions.

The company’s large user base gives it a strong position across several parts of the Indian travel journey. Its product can serve travelers who need rail, bus, air, or hotel options from one platform.

RateGain Powers Travel Businesses from the B2B Side

RateGain represents a different side of TravelTech. Its software serves hotels, airlines, car rental companies, and other travel businesses through revenue management, distribution, and data solutions.

RateGain reported Rs. 785.01 crore in Q1 FY27 revenue, along with Rs. 171.53 crore in operating profit and Rs. 94.91 crore in net profit. Inc42 places its cumulative funding at about USD 236.7 million. Its business shows how Indian TravelTech can serve companies rather than travelers alone.

EaseMyTrip Expands Beyond Air Tickets

EaseMyTrip declared gross booking revenue of Rs. 8,376 crore for FY26, and the gross booking revenue of the company amounted to Rs. 2,138 crore in Q4 FY26. Revenue from operations of the company in Q4 reached Rs. 152 crore, which increased by 8.9% on a year-over-year basis.

The company has also announced a Vision 2030 plan based on areas such as AI, international travel, and non-air travel segments. To execute the plan, EaseMyTrip is looking to raise up to Rs. 500 crore.

Atlys Digitizes the Visa Process

Atlys focuses on one of the hardest parts of international travel: visa applications. The company raised USD 36 million in Series C funding in 2026, which took its total funding to about USD 84.25 million across five rounds.

Atlys offers a clear example of how TravelTech can solve a problem before the flight or hotel booking even starts. Its model connects travel demand with visa services through a digital process.

Scapia Connects Travel with Fintech

Scapia combines travel with financial services through credit cards, travel bookings, rewards, and payments. In 2026, the company raised USD 63 million in a round led by General Catalyst. The deal valued Scapia at more than USD 500 million and took total funding to about USD 126 million. The company shows a clear shift toward travel products that combine booking with payment and financial benefits.

WanderOn Focuses on Experience-Led Holidays

WanderOn targets group trips, road trips, treks, adventure travel, and curated experiences. The company raised Rs. 54 crore in Series A funding in January 2026, with DSG Consumer Partners and Client Associates Alternate Fund among the investors.

Before that round, WanderOn said it had crossed Rs. 100 crore in business. The new capital supports destination growth, adventure travel, sports travel, wellness travel, technology, and international expansion.

30 Sundays Brings AI into Holiday Planning

30 Sundays focuses on personalized holiday planning and combines trip discovery, planning, booking, and concierge services. The company raised Rs. 61 crore in Series A funding from Bessemer Venture Partners and existing investors in 2026.

The company reported an annualized gross booking value run rate of about Rs. 200 crore. Its model points to a new type of travel platform where artificial intelligence can help turn a broad travel idea into a complete holiday plan.

A Broader TravelTech Market Takes Shape

These 10 companies show how wide India’s TravelTech sector has become. OYO and MakeMyTrip operate at large consumer scale, while RateGain serves travel businesses. Atlys tackles visas, Scapia connects travel with fintech, WanderOn focuses on experiences, and 30 Sundays brings AI into holiday planning.

The strongest shift lies in the scope of the travel journey. A modern TravelTech company does not need to sell only a flight or hotel room. It can handle transport, finance, visas, experiences, business software, or the full holiday plan. That wider market gives Indian TravelTech a much larger field for new products and business models.
