History
Paytm Travel was launched in 2015 with bus ticketing services through aggregator partnerships.[1]
In 2019, Paytm acquired NightStay, a last-minute hotel booking platform, marking its entry into the hospitality segment.[2]
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the company recorded increased demand for bus services as migrants travelled back to their hometowns.[3]
In 2023, Paytm Travel became an authorised partner of the IRCTC and introduced features such as PNR confirmation prediction and guaranteed seat assistance.[4][5]
The company also introduced flexible cancellation options on train and flight bookings, including Tatkal train tickets and international flights.[6]
In November 2023, Paytm partnered with Amadeus to integrate AI-driven travel technology into its platform.[7]
In 2024, Paytm announced partnerships with global aggregators including Skyscanner, Google Flights, and Wego to expand international booking options.[8]
By early 2025, Paytm partnered with Agoda to provide hotel booking options in India and overseas markets.[9]
