Rapido, India’s leading ridesharing platform and one of the country’s youngest unicorns, has launched a first-of-its-kind mobility-led one-stop travel solution. The app now allows users to seamlessly book flights, hotels, intercity buses, and trains, integrating services from Goibibo, redBus, and ConfirmTkt within the Rapido ecosystem. This move positions Rapido as India’s most affordable and convenient end-to-end travel platform, catering to both daily commuters and long-distance travellers.
Strategic Partnerships Power Travel Convenience
To bring this vision to life, Rapido has partnered with Goibibo for flights and hotel bookings, redBus, the world’s largest online bus ticketing platform, for intercity bus travel, and ConfirmTkt, India’s leading B2C train booking platform, to enable train reservations. Through these collaborations, Rapido offers users a complete travel ecosystem—from the first mile to the last mile—simplifying journey planning for millions of Indians.
Aravind Sanka, co-founder of Rapido, said:
“Rapido has always stood for simplifying travel and making it affordable for all. With this launch, we are extending that promise from daily commutes to long-distance journeys, unlocking travel for Bharat in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where affordability, inclusivity, and trust matter most.”
Enhancing Travel Access Across Tier 2 and Tier 3 Markets
Rajesh Magow, co-founder and group CEO of MakeMyTrip, commented:
“We are delighted to partner with Rapido to expand travel accessibility across Bharat. This collaboration enables users in tier 2 and 3 cities to book flights, hotels, and buses seamlessly, accelerating digital adoption in the travel sector.”
Dinesh Kumar Kotha, CEO of ConfirmTkt & ixigo Trains, added:
“This partnership extends our vision to make train travel seamless for millions of new users. By integrating trains into the Rapido ecosystem, we collectively enhance convenience and affordability for travellers nationwide.”
Seamless Travel Experience Within a Single App
The Rapido app now features a dedicated travel section on the home screen. Users can select Flights, Hotels, Buses, or Trains, which leads them to a customised, secure booking flow powered by Rapido’s partners. With 50 million monthly active users, Rapido continues to bridge India’s last-mile connectivity gaps, making everyday travel more accessible, affordable, and reliable.
Tapping India’s Growing Digital Travel Market
India’s travel market is projected to reach ₹5.8 trillion (~$72B) by FY26, growing at a CAGR of 14%. Despite this growth, less than 40% of bookings are online, leaving significant potential for digital adoption. With its grassroots presence, Rapido is positioned to onboard the next 100 million digital travel users, combining daily mobility and long-distance travel into a single, convenient platform.
Driving the Future of Mobility and Travel in India
This launch underscores the rapid evolution of digital-first mobility and travel solutions in India. By integrating ridesharing, intercity travel, and accommodation booking, Rapido is redefining the travel experience and offering unmatched value, particularly to users in emerging urban and semi-urban markets.
Rapido’s one-stop travel solution reinforces its commitment to creating inclusive, reliable, and cost-effective mobility and travel options for every Indian.
