Vakrangee Limited, an operator of assisted digital convenience stores, has joined forces with online travel company TSI Yatra to offer assisted online travel services across its platform.

The company said that the services like domestic/international flight bookings have been made operationally live across its network of over 11,900 Nextgen Vakrangee kendras in India.

Akash Poddar — COO of TSI Yatra said: “We are delighted to join forces with a strong and capable partner like Vakrangee on this important journey. Our partnership will help us expand our service reach well beyond urban centers and into the most rural and unserved parts of the country providing access to a complete bouquet of travel services.”

Through the partnership, Vakrangee will look to offer digital travel services in the remotest parts of India at the most competitive prices apart from helping its business partners reach the unserved parts of the country and access an untapped customer base.

To begin with, Vakrangee will be providing flights bookings from the kendras, and in the future, will extend it to additional services like hotel bookings and travel and holiday tour packages.

The tie-up with TSI Yatra is said to complete the entire offering of Vakrangee’s assisted online travel services. The latter now provides a full bouquet of travel services ranging from bus tickets, railway ticket bookings to domestic/international flights.

Nextgen Vakrangee Kendras have been engaged in offering a variety of products and services across banking, ATM, insurance, e-governance, assisted e-commerce, and logistics.

Dinesh Nandwana — Managing Director and Group CEO of Vakrangee said: “We are happy to launch and make live the Air Travel Services for our customers in remote areas.

“With this partnership with TSI Yatra Limited, we have expanded the bouquet of Travel services available at our exclusive Nextgen Vakrangee Kendras making them into one stop shop for all the travel requirements of our customers.
