ixigo has acquired Brevistay, India's leading day-use and short-stay hotel booking platform, in a deal valued at ₹65.69 crore.


Deal Details


  • Acquirer: Le Travenues Technology Ltd. (ixigo)
  • Target: Brevistay
  • Deal value: ₹65.69 crore (cash + stock mix, structure undisclosed)
  • Closing: Subject to customary closing conditions, expected in Q2 FY27

  • Why ixigo Wants Brevistay


  • Day-use and short-stay is one of the fastest-growing micro-segments in Indian hospitality, with double-digit volume growth driven by transit travellers, layover bookings, and same-day work-use.
  • Brevistay operates with 4,000+ hotel partners across 800+ cities, including transit hubs.
  • ixigo's existing hotel business is heavily weighted toward overnight bookings; Brevistay closes a clear product gap.

  • Strategic Rationale


  • Cross-sell to ixigo's 80M+ monthly active users on its train, flight, and bus apps.
  • Add a high-margin, repeat-use vertical that complements ixigo's primary transport business.
  • Defensive move against MakeMyTrip and Booking.com expanding into short-stays in India.

  • ixigo's M&A Streak


    This is ixigo's second hospitality deal in 12 months. The company has signalled a clear strategy of acquiring profitable, category-leading vertical players rather than building from scratch.


    What's Next


    Brevistay will continue to operate as an independent brand in the short term, with deeper integration into the ixigo super-app expected by Q4 FY27.
