We’re empowering travel for the next billion users.
— Aloke Bajpai, Group CEO, ixigo
Born out of a simple idea—to make travel smarter, simpler, and more accessible—ixigo took off in 2007 as a flight search engine. Founded by IIT Kanpur grads Aloke Bajpai and Rajnish Kumar, the goal was clear: fix the chaos of travel booking in India. What started with flights quickly grew into a full-stack travel platform trusted across Bharat. By removing friction, building for local needs, and scaling tech that truly gets its users, ixigo is redefining travel for the next billion Indians.
