Based in Mumbai, eTrav Tech Limited is a B2B travel technology company that operates a portal providing a comprehensive suite of services for travel agents and distributors. Founded by Heniel Rupaarelia, the company offers flight and hotel bookings, holiday packages, visa services, travel insurance, car rentals, and bus tickets. The business model is centered on providing travel agents with the tools they need to serve their customers, primarily generating revenue from air ticket sales and offering its services through APIs and white-label solutions. This allows other travel businesses to use eTrav's inventory and booking platform under their own branding.
Heniel Rupaarelia's entrepreneurial journey in the travel sector began in 2017 with a travel agency, followed by a move into travel distribution in 2018. This experience provided him with insights into the industry's challenges and the needs of travel agents, leading to the founding of eTrav amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The company serves a large network of over 40,000 travel agents, 600 distributors, and more than 700 API and white-label clients.
In 2023, eTrav expanded its global footprint by acquiring Eagle Crest DMC, a destination management company with operations in the UAE, Thailand, Bali, and Vietnam. This acquisition enhanced eTrav's portfolio with exclusive travel packages and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) solutions. The company has secured significant funding to fuel its growth, including a $3.9 million investment in March 2024 led by EaseMyTrip, which acquired a 4.94% stake. This capital is being used to advance its technology, diversify its product offerings, and strengthen its presence in international markets. The company is also developing AI-powered tools, such as a quotation builder, to help agents create tailored itineraries more efficiently.
