EaseMyTrip.com, one of India’s leading online travel platforms, has introduced ScanMyTrip.com, a new marketplace integrated with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). With this launch, EaseMyTrip becomes the first Online Travel Agency (OTA) in India to sell and buy travel services via the ONDC Network, which aims to foster an inclusive and transparent digital ecosystem.
ScanMyTrip.com allows multiple stakeholders—including OTAs, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), travel agents, and homestays—to list and offer services like flights, hotels, and homestays through the ONDC platform. By joining ONDC’s digital infrastructure, businesses in the travel and tourism sector can gain access to broader markets and customer bases, driving growth and competitiveness.
Rikant Pittie, Co-founder of EaseMyTrip, expressed excitement about the initiative, stating, “We are thrilled to create India’s first technology addressing key challenges faced by travel service providers. ScanMyTrip.com, integrated with ONDC, opens up opportunities for homestays and MSMEs to thrive in a competitive digital market.”
Thampy Koshy, MD and CEO of ONDC, emphasized the partnership’s importance, noting, “EaseMyTrip’s entry into the ONDC network will not only boost opportunities for MSMEs and small homestays but also create a more equitable marketplace, enhancing competition and democratizing the travel experience.”
Earlier this year, EaseMyTrip had committed to joining the ONDC ecosystem by signing a Letter of Intent during the ‘ONDC Startup Mahotsav,’ marking a step toward revolutionizing the e-commerce travel landscape.

- EaseMyTrip becomes the first OTA in India to integrate with ONDC through the launch of ScanMyTrip.com.
- The new platform enables MSMEs, travel agents, and homestays to offer services and expand their reach in a competitive digital environment.
