Rohit Sharma returns as the face of ixigo Trains

MUMBAI: ixigo Trains has decided to keep the good runs going. India’s leading AI-powered travel platform has renewed its partnership with cricket superstar Rohit Sharma as brand ambassador for a second straight year.

First signed on in November 2024, Rohit has become the friendly face of ixigo Trains, helping the brand strike a chord with everyday rail travellers across the country. His earlier campaign, which saw him play a witty, rap-loving ticketman, turned heads for its light-hearted tone and clever spotlight on features such as live train status, route updates, seat availability and hassle-free bookings.

The renewed association signals ixigo Trains’ continued focus on trust, reliability and innovation for India’s next billion users. The platform is betting big on traveller-first features like free cancellation, food on train, alternate travel plans and instant refunds, all designed to make long journeys feel a little less complicated.

ixigo Trains CEO Dinesh Kumar Kotha, said Rohit’s presence has added both credibility and spark to the brand. He noted that over the past year, the partnership has helped ixigo connect more deeply with users while reinforcing its mission to make train travel simpler, smarter and more dependable.

Rohit Sharma echoed the sentiment, saying he was pleased to continue working with a brand that focuses on solving real problems for travellers. He added that ixigo’s practical, innovation-led approach made the partnership a natural fit.

As ixigo Trains expands its offerings and reach, Rohit Sharma remains central to its story, standing in for trust, consistency and the shared ambition of making train journeys better for millions of Indians, whether they are cricket fans or not.
