ixigo.com, travel planning and search engine, has announced a major revamp to its trip planner product with some great content and social features. Announcing the revamp, Aloke Bajpai, CEO and co-founder, ixigo.com, said, “Thanks to the ever-expanding content coverage on trip planner and our unbundled approach to solving specific travel use cases on mobile apps, we have registered a 2x year-on-year growth. We now have over 2.5 million active users every month and have seen almost 2.5 million app downloads across our five apps. We think this is just the beginning.”
The new features after the major revamp will be: Street view of monuments, expanded content coverage, finding restaurants across the country, ability to add new places and pictures, user generated ratings and reviews, review of trains and train stations
Rajnish Kumar, CTO and co-founder, ixigo.com, said, “Travellers have become more independent than ever; a recent survey we conducted among frequent travellers revealed that 67 per cent like to plan their trip themselves. With our relentless focus on mobile, semantic search, depth of content and user-generated photos, ratings and reviews, we are well positioned to become the brand of choice for Indian travellers looking for smarter travel research and planning tools and trustworthy travel information.”
