EaseMyTrip Introduces Country’s First Travel Marketplace ScanMyTrip.com on ONDC

EaseMyTrip, an Indian travel technology company, has introduced ScanMyTrip.com, which is India's first marketplace that is integrated into the network of the Indian Government Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).

As a result of this introduction, EaseMyTrip has also established itself as the first online travel agency (OTA) to sell as well as buy travel services through the ONDC platform. In the travel and tourist industry, the integration is anticipated to bring about a revolutionary change in how businesses interact with their clients. The possibility of even smaller service providers' access to a larger audience will now be available to them, enhancing their ability to compete in the digital market.

With the launch of this new endeavor, EaseMyTrip demonstrates its commitment to promoting broad development and encouraging digital innovation within the tourist industry. This will make it simpler for businesses of all sizes to thrive within the ecosystem of eCommerce.

Rikant Pittie, the co-founder of EaseMyTrip, expressed that the company is very pleased about the prospect of developing India's first technology, which will bring the company one step closer to resolving basic difficulties faced by thousands of travel service providers.

Why Did It Opt for the ONDC Network?

According to EaseMyTrip, the integration with ONDC will make it possible for enterprises in the travel and tourist industry to take advantage of ONDC's digital infrastructure. This will enable even the most modest service providers to access a large consumer base.

According to the official statement shared by the company, ScanMyTrip.com streamlines the onboarding process, which in turn makes it simpler for businesses to connect with travelers and compete in the online marketplace.

The Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of ONDC, Thampy Koshy, brought attention to the significance of this cooperation by stating that the incorporation of EaseMyTrip into the ONDC network is a significant turning point in their efforts to establish a travel ecosystem that is more approachable and open to transparency. This integration will not only increase opportunities for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and homestays, but it will also develop a marketplace that is both competitive and equitable. On the other hand, it is entirely in line with ONDC's aim of making travel and online shopping accessible to everyone.

Letter of Intent With ONDC

EaseMyTrip made a public declaration of its intention to participate in the digital change that ONDC is pushing inside the ecommerce market by signing a Letter of Intent with ONDC at the "ONDC Startup Mahotsav" earlier this year. In the press release, it was stated that this collaboration exemplifies EaseMyTrip's commitment to fostering inclusive growth and providing cutting-edge digital solutions to the travel and tourism industry.
