EaseMyTrip Unveils EMT Desk For Businesses To Manage Corporate Travel Needs

Online travel aggregator EaseMyTrip has rolled out a platform, designed to offer businesses an integrated approach to manage corporate travel needs. 

Combined with strategic oversight, employee-friendly benefits and real time travel management, EMT Desk aims to streamline experience for businesses looking to boost their travel costs and employee travel satisfaction, the company said in a filing.

As of 1:08 PM today (November 28), shares of EaseMyTrip were up 3.6% at INR 33.30 apiece during the intraday trading on the BSE, compared to its previous close of INR 32.13.

The platform provides a centralised system with key features, including a dedicated travel manager for each corporate account, an admin panel for expense tracking and a three-level approval matrix managed via email and WhatsApp. 

EMT Desk includes advanced tools like chatbot assistance, CO2 emission reporting and power BI analytics.

“With EMT Desk, we are bridging the gap between online convenience and strategic corporate travel needs, ensuring businesses have the tools to plan, manage, and elevate their travel experiences in a way that is smart, steady, and smooth,” said Rikant Pittie, cofounder of EaseMyTrip. 

This development comes at a time when EaseMyTrip has been on a business diversification spree through partnerships, acquisitions and launch of new subsidiaries.

For instance, in November alone, the startup partnered with Hyperface to drive customer engagement by enhancing existing card programmes and launching new co-branded credit card programmes. Besides, it also acquired a 49% stake in study abroad consultant services provider Planet Education Australia via an equity share swap worth INR 39.20 Cr.

In September, the company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary Easy Green Mobility to foray into the electric bus manufacturing market, and also rolled out a marketplace called ScanMyTrip.com, to offer travel services on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).

Meanwhile, EaseMyTrip’s parent Easy Trip Planners received the board’s approval to pick up a 30% stake in Rollins International Private Limited for INR 60 Cr ($7.15 Mn) and a 49% stake in Pflege Home Healthcare Center LLC for INR 30 Cr ($ 3.5 Mn), two months ago.

EaseMyTrip reported a 42.8% decline in its consolidated profit after tax (PAT) at INR 26.8 Cr in the second quarter of the financial year 2024-25 (FY25) from INR 46.9 Cr, a year ago. 

Meanwhile, the company’s revenue from operations remained largely flat, rising a nominal 2.1% to INR 144.6 Cr in Q2 FY25 from INR 141.6 Cr, in the previous year.
