In alignment with this vision, Pittie took to LinkedIn to share EaseMyTrip’s remarkable journey—from a bootstrapped startup to one of India’s premier travel tech companies.

In line with its dedication to green mobility, Pittie announced the ambitious plan to launch over 4,000 electric buses by 2028.
This initiative, backed by an initial investment of Rs 200 crore, aims to enhance self-reliance in India’s mobility sector while decreasing reliance on foreign technology.
“This endeavor goes beyond just manufacturing buses; it aims at revolutionizing travel while fostering a sustainable ecosystem that promotes economic growth and empowers local talent,” Pittie elaborated.
Pittie also highlighted that the growth of EaseMyTrip illustrates the strength of indigenous innovation. He noted that the company has achieved global expansion while remaining grounded in its roots.
“Motivated by Minister Piyush Goyal's vision and propelled by our steadfast commitment to excellence, we continue to challenge norms and establish new standards,” he remarked.
