About EaseMyTrip:

In 2008, Nishant Pitti, Rikant Pitti, and Prashant Pitti founded an Indian online travel company called EasyMyTrip. The company, based in New Delhi, offers hotel bookings, air tickets, travel packages, bus bookings, and white-label services. With overseas offices in Singapore, Dubai, Maldives, and Bangkok, EaseMyTrip can help you plan your trip. EaseMyTrip is one of the world's few consumer startups that bootstrapped its way to an IPO and later became a unicorn. Without any outside financial infusion, EMT has grown to become the second-largest and has been profitable for the past 13 years. EMT is also the most rapidly expanding travel company. From FY16 to FY20, EMT grew at a CAGR of 47 percent. EMT has grown through word of mouth thanks to its no-convenience-fees philosophy.
