EaseMyTrip Launches ScanMyTrip.com, India’s First Travel Services Marketplace on ONDC Network

On September 12, 2024, EaseMyTrip, a top online travel platform in India, introduced ScanMyTrip.com, India’s first travel services marketplace. 

This platform allows online travel agents (OTAs), small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), travel agents, and homestays to list their services—such as flights, hotels, and accommodations—on the ONDC Network.

By integrating with the ONDC Network, EaseMyTrip enables travel businesses to use ONDC’s digital infrastructure, helping even the smallest providers reach a larger audience. ScanMyTrip.com makes it easier for these businesses to get started and connect with travellers, enhancing their ability to compete online.

Speaking about the new launch, Rikant Pittie, Co-founder of EaseMyTrip, stated, “We are very excited to build India’s first technology that will bring us one step closer to solving fundamental challenges of thousands of travel service providers. By integrating ScanMyTrip.com with ONDC Network, we are ensuring that every travel service provider in the ecosystem, from homestays to MSMEs, has the opportunity to thrive in a competitive digital market. Our goal is to provide access to advanced digital tools for businesses of all sizes, helping them scale and reach new customers.”

“EaseMyTrip joining the ONDC network is a pivotal moment in our mission to build a more inclusive and transparent travel ecosystem,” said Mr Thampy Koshy, MD and CEO of ONDC. 

He further added, “This will not only enhance opportunities for MSMEs and small homestays, it will also help create an equitable marketplace for all participants and foster healthy competition. This is in line with our mission to streamline and democratise the travel experience and thereby the overall e-commerce for everyone.” 

Earlier this year, EaseMyTrip signed a Letter of Intent with ONDC at the ‘ONDC Startup Mahotsav,’ showing their commitment to joining the digital changes ONDC is bringing to e-commerce. This step highlights EaseMyTrip’s dedication to promoting inclusive growth and introducing new digital solutions in the tourism industry.
