Agoda, IHCL to expand access to India’s hospitality portfolio
Travel platform aims to connect user base with property firm’s hotels in Asia-Pacific, Middle East
The Asset   27 May 2025

Digital travel platform Agoda has partnered with the Indian Hotels Company Limited ( IHCL ), one of India’s largest hospitality companies, to expand Agoda’s premium offerings across the globe enabling travellers internationally to access IHCL’s portfolio of properties through Agoda’s platform.

The partnership brings 250 of IHCL’s operating properties – including iconic brands such as Taj, SeleQtions, Vivanta, Ginger and the newly launched Claridges Collection – to Agoda’s global customer base.

Through this alliance, the platform connects IHCL to its user base of international and intra-regional travellers, particularly those from Asia-Pacific and the Middle East – two regions where demand for culturally rich, luxury travel is rising fast.

The collaboration, the companies say, is also aligned with IHCL’s strategy to grow its portfolio to over 700 hotels by 2030 and build deeper connections with the digitally savvy traveller.

With the Indian hospitality industry projected to grow to US$542 billion by 2030, according to the Hospital Industry in India Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts ( 2025 - 2030 ) report, this partnership places both companies in a strong position to meet the evolving expectations of global travellers.

“This partnership supports our ambition of driving global awareness for our diverse brands,” adds Puneet Chhatwal, IHCL’s managing director and CEO. “As travel demand continues to grow, we are confident that Agoda’s strong presence in key international source markets and its cutting-edge technology will help accelerate our growth and deepen our customer reach.”
