The synergy between the two platforms goes beyond what each platform can offer on its own, combining the expertise of Mappls KOGO in travel and the mobility prowess of Zoomcar to provide users with unprecedented ease and flexibility.

This collaboration is well-timed as travel enthusiasts around India embark on journeys during the festive season. Customers will also witness an effortless integration of Mappls KOGO's AI-driven features in this partnership to further enhance their experience.

Raj K Gopalakrishnan, CEO and Co-founder of Mappls KOGO said, "Imagine the unparalleled offering that we are bringing to our users when it comes to travel in India. Not only are we equipping them with on-the-spot personalised travel itineraries, real-time travel data, competitively priced stay and flight booking options, but now are also bringing them access to offbeat travel destinations which they are largely unaware of, along with the means to reach those - Zoomcar self-drive. This is an offering like no other, and it's here to revolutionise the travel industry. We're all set to take travellers on a journey they've never experienced before."

Mappls KOGO's AI-enabled features such as its unique Trip Maker and Kogonaut provider travellers with distinctive recommendations, while Zoomcar's seamless booking system and premium car range cater to their specific travel needs.

This association comes as a game-changer in the travel industry - together we aim to unlock new possibilities for our users who have so far only been exposed to limited travel options across India, we are here to change the way India plans its travel."

Greg Moran, CEO and Co-Founder Zoomcar said "At Zoomcar we continue to focus on transforming urban mobility across emerging economies and are delighted to partner with Mappls KOGO to bring innovative, mobility solutions to our guests. As trusted travel partners for customers across the country, we see great synergies in this partnership "
