Easy Trip Planners makes changes at the top
MUMBAI: Ease My Trip has announced a sweeping boardroom reshuffle. The online travel agency’s board, meeting on 29 August, cleared the elevation of Nishant Pitti from whole time director to chairman-cum-managing director for a five-year term, subject to shareholder approval. Nishant, who co-founded the company, will now steer the business with expanded authority as it eyes growth in a competitive market.
Alongside, the board appointed Vikas Bansal as whole time director, also for five years, signalling a fresh push to strengthen management bandwidth. Bansal’s induction marks a key addition to the leadership bench as the company looks to broaden its strategic play beyond flight and hotel bookings.
The shuffle also saw a notable exit. Prashant Pitti, another co-founder, resigned as managing director with immediate effect. His departure trims the Pitti family’s active leadership presence, leaving Nishant firmly at the helm.
The moves, cleared under SEBI’s listing norms, underline a generational shift in Ease My Trip’s governance and a sharper delineation of roles at a time when India’s online travel sector is recovering momentum post-pandemic and intensifying its battle for market share.
