The Idea of EaseMyTrip

EaseMyTrip is the brainchild two ambitious brothers – Nishant Pitti & Rikant Pitti who started booking flight tickets in order to save money on their air trip. Interestingly both were teenagers (Nishant was in 1st year of college and Rikant was in 12th standard) that time. The fame of the duo spread in the family and family friends and they started getting good pocket money through charging some commissions on each booking. The seeds of entrepreneurship were already present in both brothers due to being from a business background. They founded a Travel Agency and started selling tickets using different innovative marketing strategies. The agency saw a continuous growth and later on rebranded as EaseMyTrip.com.
