EaseMyTrip.com, one of India’s leading online travel platforms, has launched a new marketplace, ScanMyTrip.com, integrated with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). This move makes EaseMyTrip the first Online Travel Agency (OTA) to both sell and buy travel services through the ONDC Network, which aims to create a more inclusive and transparent digital ecosystem.

ScanMyTrip.com is designed to enable various stakeholders, including OTAs, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), travel agents, and homestays, to list and offer their services, such as flights, hotels, and homestays, on the ONDC platform. This integration will allow businesses in the travel and tourism sector to leverage ONDC’s digital infrastructure, providing them access to new markets and customers.

Rikant Pittie, Co-founder of EaseMyTrip, expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “We are thrilled to create India’s first technology that addresses fundamental challenges faced by thousands of travel service providers. By integrating ScanMyTrip.com with the ONDC Network, we ensure that every service provider in the ecosystem, from homestays to MSMEs, has an opportunity to thrive in a competitive digital market.”

Thampy Koshy, MD and CEO of ONDC, highlighted the significance of this partnership, saying, “EaseMyTrip’s entry into the ONDC network is a pivotal step toward building a more equitable marketplace. It will not only enhance opportunities for MSMEs and small homestays but also foster healthy competition and democratize the travel experience.”

Earlier this year, EaseMyTrip signed a Letter of Intent with ONDC during the ‘ONDC Startup Mahotsav,’ signifying its commitment to being part of the digital revolution within the e-commerce ecosystem.
