Having pioneered the category globally, Kayak provides a slate of online travel tools to help people search, plan and manage their travel. It aims to help travellers get the information they need before they book and offers tools and features to assist them throughout their trip.
Last month, Kayak launched its latest edition for India: https://www.kayak.co.in/ .
The website and mobile app search hundreds of travel sites at once so that travellers have the information they need to make the best decisions.
Kayak has more than 40 international sites and in 20 languages, powering 1.5 billion queries annually for travel information and displaying results from hundreds of airlines, over 900,000 hotels, along with rental cars, holiday packages, activities and millions of verified reviews.
The mobile app has witnessed more than 55 million downloads.

Says Imbert Fung, Director Southeast Asia and India at Kayak: “India is a rapidly growing travel market and has continued its impressive growth over the past several years. In addition, the Indian online travel market has immense potential, with increasing penetration and acceptance across domestic and international markets. We have exciting plans for Kayak in 2017... towards making India one of our core markets. While we have had a presence here for a while and feel we understand the Indian user, we are now greatly enhancing our local presence by setting up country operations with Abhijit Mishra at the helm as the country manager for India.”
