EaseMyTrip and OneBanc Announce strategic alliance to revolutionize corporate travel in India with AI integration
New Delhi [India], June 18 (ANI): EaseMyTrip.com, one of the leading online travel tech platforms, and OneBanc, a premium neo-bank for white-collar salaried professionals, have announced a strategic partnership.
This will also integrate EaseMyTrip's comprehensive travel services called EMTDesk into OneBanc's AI-powered payroll banking platform. The two companies have recently begun onboarding corporate clients onto the AI-powered platform.
The partnership between OneBanc and EaseMyTrip is set to bring transparency, eliminate inefficiencies, and deliver a seamless, policy-compliant experience to corporate travellers. EMTDesk is an intuitive, mobile-friendly platform that supports multi-modal bookings (flights, hotels, trains, etc.) with real-time inventory and policy-aligned recommendations.
Key features include WhatsApp-based approval workflows, traveller profile management, risk tracking, vendor and payment integrations, and 24/7 customer support. At the core of this collaboration lies OneBanc's proprietary AI platform, which automates end-to-end processes, reducing operational costs, providing actionable insights, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enabling a new level of personalisation for employees.
While India-specific data on travel software remains limited, global studies show that organisations lose over $5 billion annually due to manual errors, inefficiencies, and delays in corporate travel management. Additionally, regulatory non-compliance contributes to more than $7 billion in annual penalties, legal costs, and reputational damage.
Together, OneBanc and EaseMyTrip are building a unified ecosystem. OneBanc seamlessly connects banking, payroll/HRMS, and merchant services--like EaseMyTrip--into a single enterprise-grade AI platform. The integration automates policy-compliant recommendations, streamlines payments, ensures auto-submission of GST invoices, and provides real-time analytics to corporates. These insights empower companies to negotiate better rates, implement cost-control policies, and elevate the employee experience.
This partnership reflects both companies' commitment to innovation and customer-centricity. By combining EaseMyTrip's expansive travel inventory with OneBanc's intelligent automation, the duo aims to transform corporate travel management and redefine how employees engage with financial tools.
'Our partnership with OneBanc is a major step in expanding our corporate travel solutions,' said Nishant Pitti, Chairman & Founder of EaseMyTrip. 'By combining our travel expertise with OneBanc's AI-led platform, we're delivering a next-gen solution that redefines how companies manage business travel.'
'At OneBanc, our mission is to leverage AI and ML to deliver personalised experiences for salaried professionals and enterprises,' said Vibhore Goyal, Founder & CEO of OneBanc. 'Given that corporate travel is a major spend category, our partnership with EaseMyTrip--a leader in digital travel--was a natural evolution. Together, we're enabling a compliant, seamless, and automated solution for corporate India.'
OneBanc is a leading corporate financial solutions provider that integrates banking, payroll, and HR systems with AI-powered automation to optimise employee financial wellness and corporate operational efficiency.

Goyal optimistic about signing first tranche of U.S. trade deal before July 9
As the clock ticks towards U.S. President Donald Trump's 'reciprocal tariffs' to kick in on July 9, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has expressed optimism that India and the U.S. could sign a preliminary or early tranche of a larger trade deal before that date, though he stopped short of confirming a deal would be signed. 'We are in continuous dialogue. I have always been an optimist,' Mr Goyal said in an interview with The Hindu on the fringes of a conference organized by the India Global Forum 2025 in London. Also Read | India-U.S. trade deal faces delays, original fall deadline back on the table 'I'm very confident that, given that the US and India are very friendly countries, trusted partners, both wanting to have resilient, reliable, trusted supply chains, both vibrant democracies, we will be able to come up with a win-win for the businesses of both countries,' Mr Goyal added. Failure to sign such a deal would , as things stand, would result in Indian goods entering the U.S. being tariffed at 26% starting in early July. Also Read | What is the significance of the India-U.K. free trade agreement? Mr Goyal did not comment on whether a deal on the sensitive dairy and agricultural goods sectors would form part of the preliminary tranche of the Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) under discussion with the U.S. 'I think negotiations are best left to the negotiators and the negotiating table. We will, of course, inform the media at the right time,' he said. Mr. Goyal also did not want to comment on the impact of the U.S.'s Trade Promotion Authority, which is a process in the U.S. Congress to delegate authority to the U.S. President to negotiate trade deals, including deals that offer below Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rates to some trading partners of the U.S. Earlier, Mr Goyal had participated in a moderated discussion with his U.K. counterpart, Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds. The two countries had announced a free trade agreement on May 6. Mr Goyal said the UK and India were successful in concluding a deal because the sides had agreed to be sensitive to one another's concerns, setting aside issues that could not be negotiated easily. On the India-EU trade talks, Mr Goyal said the sides were looking to conclude a trade deal by the end of this calendar year, when asked whether they would announce a full-scale trade deal or an interim agreement first. 'There's that famous English phrase…since we are in Great Britain …'the air is pregnant with possibilities', he said adding he did not know what size and shape the agreement would have. On weather the Trump administration's return to the White House had impacted the speed and direction of India's trade talks with the E.U., Mr Goyal suggested that third parties did not impact bilateral deals. Last week the E.U.'s foreign minister , Kaja Kallas, had said at a joint press conference with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar that the E.U. was a 'reliable, predictable and credible partner for India'. Countries have been seeking to recalibrate their relationship with the U.S. since the return of U.S. President Donald Trump and his 'America First' philosophy to the White House. 'I don't think there's any impact of any other situation on a negotiation between two countries, because these negotiations are not a short term arrangement. These are like long-term marriages you are negotiating after crystal-gazing … 25 years, 50 years, into the future,' Mr Goyal said. India wants WTO strengthened On the relevance of the World Trade Organization given the change in the U.S. administration and its retrenchment from multilateralism, Mr Goyal said the world trade body had an 'important' role to play and that India believed 'very strongly' in multilateralism. '[ India ] believes we have to strengthen the WTO over the next few years through dialogue and discussions and will continue to play an increasingly important role to promote multilateralism,' he said. Tata Steel Not Discussed with the UK Mr Goyal also said that India had not made an intervention with the U.K. on behalf of Tata Steel which owns the Port Talbot steel plant in south Wales. The plant has had to import raw material from India and Europe following the closure of its blast furnace last year as it prepares to operationalize an electric-arc furnace in 2027. This may mean it runs afoul of the U.S.'s rules on inputs to qualify for any tariff reductions that the U.K. and U.S. agree to. The Trump administration has threatened to fully or partially maintain tariffs of 25% on British steel unless the U.K. provides guarantees on Tata Steel's inputs, as per a report in the Guardian. 'That, the U.K., has to negotiate with the U.S.,' Mr Goyal said.

Himachal CM inaugurates newly constructed Rs 14.84 crore bus stand at Theog
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 18 (ANI): Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wednesday inaugurated the newly constructed bus stand at Theog, built at a cost of Rs 14.84 crore, and the APMC Fruit and Vegetable Market Complex at Shilaru, constructed at a cost of Rs 23 crore, a release said. Addressing a large public gathering, the Chief Minister said that the bus stand project, which had been pending for the last 12 years, has now been completed and dedicated to the people, fulfilling a long-pending demand. The facility is equipped with all basic amenities for passengers and HRTC staff. He also announced that a shopping complex will be constructed at the site of the old bus stand with government funding. The Chief Minister said that the newly inaugurated Fruit and Vegetable Market Complex at Shilaru would provide a reliable platform to local farmers and horticulturists to get fair prices for their produce, saving both time and money. He reiterated the government's commitment to providing modern and accessible marketing infrastructure for the farming community. To further benefit local fruit growers, he said that work on a Rs 26 crore winery at Parala Market would commence soon. He also assured that sufficient funds would be made available for the construction of the Mini Secretariat at Theog and announced the opening of a new HRTC sub-depot and workshop in the area. CM Sukhu said that the state government was working towards equipping Theog Hospital with all essential medical facilities. He added that efforts were being made to upgrade IGMC Shimla and Tanda Medical College to the level of AIIMS. The government would invest Rs 1,350 crore in modern medical technology and recruit doctors, nurses, and Rogi Mitras to further strengthen health services in the state. 'As I hold the Finance portfolio, I assure equal and balanced development across all regions of the state,' he said. Referring to the natural calamity in 2023, the Chief Minister said that the government acted swiftly to restore road connectivity in the apple belt to ensure timely transportation of apples and avoid losses to farmers. He also highlighted the government's efforts to introduce the Universal Carton in the first year of his government to support horticulturists. CM Sukhu said the state has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to restrict apple imports in order to safeguard the interests of local farmers. 'We are raising the voice of the farming community at every forum,' he added. The Chief Minister also informed us that the Shipki-La Pass, which borders China, has recently opened for tourists. The government is exploring the possibility of initiating the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through this route. Criticizing the previous BJP government, he said, 'They constructed buildings worth Rs1,000 crore for electoral gains, many of which now lie unused. Our focus is on judicious use of resources to make Himachal self-reliant.' Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri lauded the leadership of Chief Minister Sukhu and local MLA Kuldeep Singh Rathore, both of whom have previously served as presidents of the Pradesh Congress Committee. He said that Theog has consistently elected capable leaders and holds a place of importance in the state. He credited the Chief Minister for releasing Rs 5 crore to complete the bus stand project and informed that Rs 255 crore has already been spent on the Kurpan Water Supply Scheme, with the remaining Rs 45 crore now available for its completion. He assured that pending sewerage works in Theog would also be completed soon. Agriculture Minister Chander Kumar said that both the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister were fully committed to Theog's development. He recalled the significant contributions of former Minister Vidya Stokes and former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh in shaping the region. MLA and AICC Secretary Kuldeep Singh Rathore welcomed the Chief Minister and expressed gratitude for releasing sufficient funds for the completion of the bus stand. He also paid tribute to Vidya Stokes and Virbhadra Singh for their visionary leadership. He remarked that development in Theog had slowed down during the past five years but had now regained momentum. He said once the Kurpan water supply scheme is completed, Theog would have sufficient drinking water. He also assured better road infrastructure in the region and reaffirmed the government's commitment to fulfilling its electoral promises. Highlighting the plight of apple growers, Rathore thanked the Chief Minister for implementing the Universal Carton system and urged him to strongly take up the issue of apple imports from the United States with the central government. 'I was the first to raise the demand for a ban on apple imports from Turkey, which supports Pakistan. Now, American apples pose a new challenge,' he said. (ANI)
