The achievement of 1 crore users highlights the increasing acceptance of the platform and its crucial contribution to offering privacy-focused and effective travel experiences.
“Reaching the 10 million user milestone signifies the trust and confidence our users have in us. Our initiatives, including the ‘d-KYC’ campaign, have propelled our growth in 2024.

The d-KYC (Don't Know Your Customer) campaign, initiated in October, underscores the platform's dedication to user privacy and autonomy.
This campaign emphasizes how Digi Yatra serves customers’ needs while ensuring that their personal data is neither stored nor accessed. Established in December 2022, Digi Yatra employs face authentication technology to optimize passenger processing across 24 airports in India.
The platform has already facilitated over 45 million seamless journeys, offering a streamlined experience for countless travelers. Digi Yatra has ambitious plans for 2025.
