December 8, 2021, New Delhi: Travsie, a travel tech start-up, announced the successful launch of its B2B marketplace and hybrid tech platform in the holiday sourcing space, that caters exclusively to travel agents, SMEs and suppliers. At the time of launch, the platform had more 1100 agents and global suppliers already engaged on the platform.
Travsie has also received an initial round of seed funding from a Delhi based HNI, that it will deploy on advancing its technology and expanding operations; as it scales up to acquire 10,000+ agents and suppliers in the next six months.
“Holiday packages remain a cornerstone of India’s travel industry, and it is estimated that MSME travel agents will continue to retain over 50 per cent market share in terms of channel of bookings for travel. Therefore, it was surprising for us that the B2B space in this segment had been vacant so far. There had been no attempt yet to enable sourcing integration between agents and suppliers,” said Vikas Khadaria, CEO and Founder, Travsie. “Agents were facing several challenges while sourcing holiday packages, especially due to manual processes. That’s why we created a scalable tech platform like Travsie; to fill this critical need-gap.”
“Travsie not only streamlines holiday sales, services and transactions between suppliers and agents, it also comes packed with a host of integrated, full stack, ease-of-business features that drive efficiencies, revenues and growth,” he added.
