About Viadotcom
In 2006, a group of visionary entrepreneurs, Vinay Gupta, Ashwini Kakkar, Niranjan Gupta, Rohit Gaddi, Harsh Azad, and Amit Aggarwal, founded Via.com in Bengaluru, India. Their mission was to revolutionize the travel industry by creating a comprehensive e-commerce platform focused on travel services, primarily catering to the Asian market.
Via.com quickly gained traction by offering a wide range of travel-related services, including flight bookings, hotel reservations, and holiday packages. The platform's user-friendly interface and competitive pricing attracted a growing customer base, establishing Via.com as a significant player in the travel e-commerce sector.
Over the years, Via.com expanded its reach and diversified its offerings, which led to substantial growth. This success caught the attention of larger companies in the industry. In a significant turn of events, Via.com was acquired by Ebix, Inc., a leading international supplier of on-demand software and e-commerce services to the insurance, financial, and healthcare industries.
The acquisition by Ebix marked a new chapter for Via.com, providing it with the resources and global reach to further enhance its services and expand its market presence. This strategic move not only validated the founders' vision but also underscored Via.com's impact on the travel industry.
Today, Via.com continues to thrive under the Ebix umbrella, leveraging its robust platform to deliver exceptional travel experiences to customers across Asia and beyond. The journey of Via.com is a testament to the power of innovation and strategic growth in the competitive world of travel e-commerce.
