EaseMyTrip Founder’s Take on Piyush Goyal’s Remark on Startups

Rikant Pittie, CEO and Co-Founder, EaseMyTrip has shared his views on the ongoing conversation around the remark made by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Startups-

Hon’ble Minister Piyush Goyal’s visionary leadership has long inspired us to think big, innovate relentlessly, and pursue sustainable growth. He has highlighted the importance of moving beyond quick fixes in favor of deep tech, sustainability, and long-term innovation in India’s startup ecosystem. At EaseMyTrip.com, we fully embrace this vision.

Our journey began right here in India—as a bootstrapped startup—determined to transform travel and tourism with technology and trust at its core. Without external funding, we built EaseMyTrip.com from the ground up, redefining the travel experience for millions across the country. Over the years, we have expanded our footprint globally, embodying the spirit of innovation and excellence that makes India shine on the world stage.

An important milestone in this journey was our acquisition of YoloBus – a company that reimagined intercity travel with efficiency, sustainability, and convenience at its core. Building on the success of YoloBus, an EaseMyTrip.com Company, we introduced Easy Green Mobility, our ambitious initiative to develop electric mobility solutions. These projects exemplify our commitment to revolutionizing public transport while promoting eco-friendly travel across India.

With an initial investment of ₹200 crore and plans to deploy over 4,000 electric buses by 2028, EaseMyTrip is focused on reducing dependency on foreign technologies while having self-reliance in the mobility sector. This isn’t just about manufacturing buses, it’s about transforming how we travel while creating a sustainable ecosystem that drives economic growth and empowers local talent.

Innovation has always been at the heart of EaseMyTrip—from disrupting travel bookings with zero convenience fees to introducing AI-driven solutions and green mobility initiatives. As we grow, we remain committed to launching new, impactful initiatives that leverage technology to address real-world challenges and drive meaningful change.

Inspired by Minister Piyush Goyal’s roadmap and driven by our unwavering commitment to excellence, we continue to push boundaries and set new benchmarks. Together, we are paving the way for a future that is electric, sustainable, and unmistakably Indian.

The future is bright, and we are just getting started.
