Rapido, India’s leading ridesharing platform and one of the country’s youngest unicorns, has announced a strategic collaboration with Goibibo for hotel and flight bookings, as well as partnerships with redBus for inter-city coach travel and ConfirmTkt for train bookings, marking India’s first homegrown one-stop mobility and travel solution.

Rapido is officially India’s first homegrown mobility-led, one-stop app that brings together daily rides and long-distance travel to offer users convenience, choice and savings in one place. With this launch, whether it is a quick ride to the airport or planning a family holiday, users can now manage their entire journey seamlessly in just a few clicks.

Aravind Sanka, Co-Founder, Rapido, said, “Rapido has always stood for simplifying travel and making it affordable for all. With this launch, we are taking a bold step forward by extending that promise from daily commutes to long-distance journeys. What excites us most is the opportunity to unlock travel for Bharat in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where inclusivity, affordability, and trust matter most. From the first mile to the last mile, Rapido is shaping the future of mobility and travel as a true one-stop partner for every Indian. We are grateful to our partners for joining us in this journey and strengthening our vision.”

Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder and Group CEO, MakeMyTrip, said, “We are delighted to partner with Rapido as part of our continued effort to expand our reach to travellers across Bharat. This partnership will enable more users in tier 2 and 3 markets to book flights, hotels, and buses, further deepening the adoption of digital travel across the country.”

Dinesh Kumar Kotha, CEO, ConfirmTkt & ixigo Trains, said, “At Confirmtkt, we have always focused on making train travel seamless and accessible for every Indian. This partnership with Rapido extends that vision to millions of new users, allowing them to plan and book train journeys with greater ease and confidence. By bringing trains into the Rapido ecosystem, we are collectively enhancing convenience and affordability for travellers across the country.”

Rapido will integrate redBus for inter-city bus bookings and ConfirmTkt, a leading authorised B2C online train ticketing and travel utility platform, to power train bookings, making these services available within the Rapido app.

Users will now find a Travel section on the home screen. Selecting Flights, Hotels, Buses or Trains directs them to a customised booking flow powered by Rapido’s partners, allowing secure reservations. With 50 million monthly active users, Rapido is bridging India’s last-mile connectivity gaps and redefining everyday travel to be more accessible, affordable and reliable for millions.

India’s overall travel market is projected to reach Rs 5.8 trillion (~$72 billion) by FY26, growing at a CAGR of 14 per cent. Yet less than 40 per cent is online today, leaving substantial headroom for digital adoption. Rapido, with its grassroots presence, is well-positioned to onboard the next 100 million digital travel users by bundling daily mobility and travel bookings in one app.

This partnership signals the rapid evolution of digital-first mobility and travel solutions in India, streamlining the travel experience and delivering unmatched value, particularly to users in emerging urban markets.
