With over a decade of experience in enterprise technology products and hands-on knowledge of engineering and sales, Kumar will be responsible for leading technology innovation and expanding company’s service and product portfolio to support key industry trends.
An IIT-Kanpur graduate, Kumar was the founder & CEO of uniRow Inc, a training cloud company.

His understanding of technology and the market is one of the best in the industry which is going to be a great asset for us.

FabFurnish.com is taking a fresh approach beyond the typical discounting models common in the industry and building tech-enabled products and services that will allow a large offline market to transition to the online world. I look forward to this journey and play a key role in strengthening relationships with strategic partners.”
MUMBAI: From flights to tracks, Cleartrip is now trying to keep every journey on the same ticket. Cleartrip, part of Flipkart, has launched train ticket bookings through a partnership with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, marking its entry into India’s vast rail travel ecosystem.
The integration allows users to search, book and manage train journeys directly within the app, as the company pushes towards becoming a unified, multi-modal travel platform. The move plugs Cleartrip into one of the world’s largest transportation networks, where over 800 million reserved passengers travel annually, alongside a daily footfall of around 23 million across Indian Railways.
The offering includes bookings across routes nationwide, covering General and Tatkal quotas as per Ministry of Railways guidelines. Users can also access real-time seat availability, fare insights, PNR status tracking, berth preferences and digital payment options within a single interface.
The expansion reflects a broader shift in travel platforms from specialising in a single mode to stitching together end-to-end journeys. For Cleartrip, the bet is not just on scale, but on simplifying a system often seen as complex and fragmented.
Company executives said the focus is on embedding predictive intelligence and personalisation into the booking journey, aiming to make everything from discovery to post-booking support faster and more intuitive.
The train booking feature is currently live on the app, with plans to extend it to the web platform soon, signalling a push towards a seamless cross-platform experience.
In a country where railways move billions each year, the next battleground for travel apps may well be decided not in the skies, but on the tracks.
