Agoda and the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) have launched a transformative partnership aimed at revolutionizing travel to India. This collaboration seeks to redefine how global travelers experience luxury stays by enhancing digital accessibility to India’s most iconic hotels.

Through this strategic alliance, over two hundred fifty of IHCL’s renowned properties, including celebrated brands such as Taj, Vivanta, SeleQtions, Ginger, and the newly launched The Claridges Collection, are now available for seamless online booking via Agoda’s global platform. This integration marks a significant leap forward in making India’s premium hotels accessible to a wider audience, setting a new benchmark for tech-enabled, premium travel experiences.

The partnership addresses the increasing demand among digitally savvy travelers, particularly from the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions, for culturally rich, high-end stays that are easy to discover and book. It also aligns with IHCL’s strategic vision of expanding its portfolio to over seven hundred hotels by 2030, while deepening its connection with international markets.

As Agoda celebrates its 20th anniversary, this partnership underscores its commitment to innovation, customer-centricity, and premium service delivery. Together, Agoda and IHCL aim to showcase the best of Indian hospitality on a global stage while setting a new standard for digital convenience in the luxury travel sector.

Omri Morgenshtern, CEO of Agoda, emphasized the significance of IHCL as an iconic name in the Indian hospitality market, highlighting Puneet Chhatwal's leadership as setting industry benchmarks. Morgenshtern expressed excitement about combining IHCL’s portfolio of heritage palaces and luxury city hotels with Agoda’s tech-driven solutions and global reach.

Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and CEO of IHCL, noted that the partnership with Agoda supports IHCL’s ambition of driving global awareness for its diverse brands. He expressed confidence that Agoda’s strong presence in key international source markets and its cutting-edge technology will help accelerate IHCL’s growth and deepen its customer reach as travel demand continues to grow.

This collaboration not only enhances access to authentic Indian hospitality but also supports IHCL’s broader vision of expanding its footprint. By integrating IHCL’s properties into its global network, Agoda is facilitating a connection with a new generation of digital-first travelers seeking premium stays and culturally enriching journeys.

The Indian hospitality industry is projected to grow to USD 542 billion by 2030, positioning both Agoda and IHCL favorably to meet the evolving expectations of global travelers through this strategic alliance.
