Cleartrip

Cleartrip is a global online travel company, headquartered in Mumbai. The company operates an online travel aggregator website for booking flights, train tickets, hotel reservations, and activities in India and the Middle East countries. It holds offices across India, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Geographic Expansion

Cleartrip started its first foreign business in the UAE in May 2010. It expanded its activities to the Persian Gulf countries of Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia in May 2012. Cleartrip announced the acquisition of Saudi Arabia-based online travel aggregator Flyin on June 21, 2018.

Stuart Crighton, Hrush Bhatt, and Matthew Spacie established Cleartrip in 2006 as a hotel and flight aggregator. The founders chose to enter the internet travel business after noticing the fragmentation in the Indian travel and hospitality sector.

Cleartrip also runs Cleartrip for Business, an online corporate travel management service; Agent Box, a travel solution for travel agencies; and Cleartrip Mobile, a mobile travel booking app. Quickeys, a hotel booking application, and other route planning services were introduced in 2012.
