RateGain Travel Technologies Ltd. and Easebuzz Forge Payment Alliance for India Travel
RateGain Travel Technologies Ltd. has announced a strategic partnership with Indian digital payments platform Easebuzz. As of April 21, 2026, Easebuzz will serve as a Gold Partner for RateGain's RG Pay solution, integrating its payment gateway and local acquiring capabilities directly into the platform.
Impact for Travel Brands
This collaboration aims to provide travel and hospitality brands using RG Pay with more domestic payment options like UPI, cards, and net banking. By simplifying the checkout, the partnership seeks to boost payment acceptance, reduce customer friction, and increase booking completion rates for RateGain's clients in India.

This partnership also strengthens RateGain's RG Pay offering in India's competitive travel tech sector.
Potential Challenges
The main challenge lies in execution. The partnership's success depends on effectively integrating Easebuzz's payment gateway and acquiring services with RateGain's RG Pay to achieve better payment acceptance and higher booking completion rates.
