The resignation comes amidst the startup’s founder Bhanu Chopra outlining that the company is looking to double its revenue in the next three years leveraging AI to cut operational costs and demand booms in India’s hospitality and tourism sector. 

It is pertinent to note that RateGain clocked a revenue of INR 998.59 Cr in the fiscal year ended March 2024 (FY24), up 70.7% from INR 585.06 Cr in FY23 on strong demand.

The startup claims to cater to more than 3,200 customers and has a presence in over 100 countries.

Going forward, RateGain also plans to deepen its presence in certain geographies in the US and European markets and is also looking to acquire new companies in the travel tech space. 

In March, RateGain’s promoter and promoter group offloaded a 3% stake in the traveltech SaaS from a total holding of 51.25%.

Last year in November, RateGain launched a qualified institutional placement (QIP) to raise fresh capital at a floor price of INR 676.66 per share.
