Introduced in June 2006, Ixigo was started by IIT Kanpur pair of Aloke Bajpai and Rajnish Kumar. Bajpai was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh and completed his electrical engineering from IIT Kanpur. Soon, he moved to France to work for a Europe-based travel technology company called ‘Amadeus’.
The company aggregates and lets you compare instant travel information, prices, and availability of trains, buses, flights, cabs, hotels, and others. After leaving Amadeus, Bajpai started working his business studies at INSEAD’s Asia campus Singapore. Returning to India, Bajpai met his old classmate Kumar (co-founder) and the pair decided to launch Ixigo.
The meta-search engine has been leisurely developed into an online travel agency (OTA) and has accounted for remarkable conversion in the platform. The company’s plans for adding entertainment to become a go-to online portal for digital entertainment for travelers has been a successful step. Now it will be exciting to see what going to be the next for Ixigo.
