The story

Founded in 2017, HappyEasyGo grew rapidly as one of India's fastest-growing OTAs focused on affordable domestic and international flight and hotel bookings. The company has progressively layered embedded finance infrastructure to support its expansion: adding travel insurance in 2019, then in 2024 adopting Nium virtual cards for multi-currency B2B supplier payments and Primer for localized consumer checkout in Southeast Asia. The strategic thrust is now cross-border OTA expansion — first into Singapore and Malaysia, with Thailand and Indonesia targeted next — requiring a sophisticated payments stack to handle both consumer-side checkout and supplier-side B2B payouts in multiple currencies.
