Gurgaon, India and New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - April 20, 2021) - Yatra Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: YTRA) (OTC Pink: YTROF) ("Yatra" or the "Company"), India's largest corporate travel service provider and one of India's leading online travel companies today announced that it had added 21 new noteworthy clients to its growing Corporate Customer base in the March 2021 quarter. These clients are across Yatra's various product offerings. These new customer signings in a challenging quarter further underscore Yatra's leadership position in the Corporate travel segment in India and it's ability to extend its platform to cross-sell other products and services.
With its PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering for Large and Medium Enterprises and its Self-Booking Platform for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), Yatra is addressing the entire corporate travel market in India and expanding its platform to services beyond travel. This market remains relatively underpenetrated in India. Catering to the corporate travel market since 2014, Yatra has over the years built an industry-leading solution set that covers every aspect of business travel with technology enabled policy compliance, expense management, curated hotel options through its SMART Hotel initiative, foreign-exchange services, visa & passport assistance and more.
Commenting on these new customer wins, Dhruv Shringi, Co-Founder & CEO, Yatra Online, Inc. said, "Companies these days, are looking for digitized solutions for their employees be it business travel, expense management, sourcing of other services etc., as it provides an efficient and user-friendly experience to the employees. For large corporate customers, it becomes extremely important to have a smooth and efficient multi-prong platform, which offers the capability to manage complementary services together on a single platform. While business travel across our client base has been severely impacted by COVID-19 and the more recent second-wave; we believe the ongoing level and pace of vaccination will aid the travel recovery in India in the near-term. The country has now authorized vaccinations for the general population above 18 years of age. In the interim, we continue to deliver a high level of service to our existing clients and sign new ones at a healthy pace even in this challenging environment - all of which is a testament to our people, robust content, and Yatra's technology and service innovation."
Yatra is the largest corporate travel service provider in India and has revolutionized the way companies plan and monitor business travel and expenses.
