Travenues, a travel technology firm based in Gurgaon, India announced the launch of iXiGO a travel search engine for India. iXiGO will provide Indian consumers an unbiased fare search platform for searching and comparing airfare information and deals from multiple airlines and online travel agencies and shall soon expand to cover hotels, activities and other travel categories.

The proliferation of airlines as well as online travel agencies in India means that increasingly, consumers have many places to book their tickets, but no guarantee of getting the best rates at any one place. Value-conscious consumers will thus need to spend even more time and effort in finding the travel deal they are looking for. iXiGO looks across all possible sources of travel deals and content and provides up-do-date, real-time pricing and availability information with ticketing and fulfillment directly on the vendor֒s portal. Our time has arrived Ӗ consumers wanted a comprehensive, easy-to-use, fast, transparent travel search, and we gave it to them - said Aloke Bajpai, Founder & CEO of iXiGO.

In addition, with its easy to use interface, and transparent price-comparison that shows all-inclusive fares, iXiGO empowers consumers with unbiased travel information. When asked how iXiGO will differentiate itself from other online travel portals, Bajpai responded - ԓWe are a search of the traveler, by the traveler and for the traveler. We will ensure constant user-delight through our rich travel 2.0Ӕ applications and innovative online & mobile search technologies.

Conceived a year back, iXiGO is backed by a team of returnee entrepreneurs from Amadeus Europe, with IITians, INSEAD MBAs and a German national in its founding team.
