Built from a simple frustration: travel shouldn't be this hard
The story of Trip Ka Baap — from a small team in Mumbai in 2013 to the AI platform behind corporate travel programs and major hotel brands today.
From a founding team to an operating system
A frustration becomes a company
Trip Ka Baap is founded in Mumbai on a simple belief: travel pricing should be transparent. The first product is a consumer booking tool with honest, no-hidden-fees pricing.
The management layer
Early corporate customers ask for approvals, policy, and reporting. We begin building the management layer that becomes the platform's backbone.
Going deep on enterprise
We step back from the consumer market to focus entirely on corporate travel — choosing fewer, larger partners and going deep instead of wide.
The agent arrives
Our first AI travel agent ships: a natural-language assistant that searches, validates against policy, and routes approvals. Booking time drops from hours to minutes.
Global scale
Expansion across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas as enterprise teams adopt agent-driven travel.
Two businesses, one engine
We launch ArrivalSense and FrontDesk IQ for major hotel brands — and, to keep depth for our partners, pause new startup and small-business programs.
We didn't set out to build an AI company. We set out to fix travel — and the fastest, most reliable way to fix it turned out to be agents.
