Travel is one of the earliest internet categories in India, yet it still feels unfinished. Millions of people book flights in seconds… but still walk into hotels to book a room. Planning a single trip involves dozens of decisions across multiple platforms, spread over weeks.
And despite all the progress, trust remains the biggest bottleneck.
In this episode, we brought together Deep Kalra (MakeMyTrip), Alok Bajpai (Ixigo), and Hari Ganapathy (PickYourTrail) – three founders who represent three distinct eras of building Indian travel tech. They’re candid about what’s still broken in travel, how AI is beginning to reshape the industry, and where the biggest opportunities lie.
The next version of Indian travel is being built right now. This conversation is a window into what it might look like.
