About RailYatri
RailYatri is a comprehensive travel platform in India, focused on train and bus travelers. It serves as a one-stop solution for passengers, offering services that cover the entire journey lifecycle. Users can book train and bus tickets through its IRCTC-authorized platform, check the PNR status of their tickets for confirmation probability, and track live train running status in real-time. The platform's data is crowd-sourced from users' GPS and cell tower data, which allows for frequent and accurate updates on train locations.
In addition to ticketing and tracking, RailYatri provides ancillary services such as ordering food on trains and access to a wide range of travel information including train schedules, seat availability, and platform numbers. The business model appears to be commission-based, earning revenue from the booking of train and bus tickets, and potentially from food delivery partnerships. The primary clients are the millions of daily train and bus commuters in India looking for a more predictable and managed travel experience.
