TripGain
TripGain is an end-to-end travel and expense platform for businesses, headquartered in Bangalore, India.
The company was co-founded in 2019 by CEO Sudheer Reddy and Ranga Prasad Badasheshi.
To address issues in the corporate travel market, TripGain has rebuilt its product and developed an artificial intelligence (AI) copoilot.
“Our mission is simple: We want to make business travel a breeze for every single user in an enterprise—not just for admins, finance teams—for every single traveler,” TripGain CEO and co-founder Sudheer Reddy said at The Phocuswright Conference.
During a pitch as part of Phocuswright's Innovation: Launch program, Reddy highlighted issues within corporate travel tools, which are fragmented and slow.
In light of this, Reddy said TripGain “killed” its existing product to develop its AI copilot, which can take natural language and convert it into a complete booked itinerary. The product also handles trip disruptions and expenses and connects users with a human agent if needed.
The solution is available on Microsoft Teams and WhatsApp, with a Slack integration also in the works.
When asked about what sets TripGain apart, Reddy said, “We are extremely good at executive, and we don’t compete with the likes of Navan or any other TMCs. We are a vendor-agnostic, independent platform. We solve the enterprises’ problems and you can actually plug any vendor in the backend.”
TripGain is seed funded and recently raised capital to expand in India and across global markets.
