EaseMyTrip signs MoU with Timbuckdo to make student travel more affordable, aspirational

EaseMyTrip and Timbuckdo join forces to offer exclusive student travel discounts on flights, hotels, and experiences across India.

"Through this partnership, we aim to make travel not only accessible but also aspirational for students. – Mythri Kumar, Timbuckdo"

New Delhi, July 25

EaseMyTrip, an online travel platform has announced an exclusive strategic partnership with Timbuckdo, a student-focused social commerce platform.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aims to make travel more affordable, accessible, and aspirational for students across India through exclusive, curated discounts on flights, buses, hotels and experiences.

The company stated on Thursday that this landmark initiative will combine EaseMyTrip's trusted travel infrastructure with Timbuckdo's deep engagement within India's student ecosystem to unlock never-before-seen discounts and access for India's Gen Z population.

"EaseMyTrip has always believed in making travel accessible to all, through this partnership with Timbuckdo, we are unlocking significant value for the student segment--a demographic that is deeply aspirational, digitally savvy, and hungry to explore. We are excited to empower their travel dreams through deeper discounts and curated travel solutions," said Sanchit Chopra, Chief Marketing Officer of EaseMyTrip.

The company also added that India's youth is rapidly reshaping the travel landscape. Gen Z and Gen Alpha now influence over 93 per cent of family travel decisions, driving a shift toward experience-led, spontaneous, and budget-conscious travel over traditional patterns.

"This is a defining moment for Timbuckdo, Gen Z is not deferring travel to the future, they are ready to explore now and are actively seeking value-driven experiences. Our goal is to eliminate cost as a barrier. Through our partnership with EaseMyTrip, we aim to make travel not only accessible, but also aspirational and practical for students across India," said Mythri Kumar, Co-founder and CEO, Timbuckdo.

The company shared that the highlights of this partnership include exclusive student discounts on flights, buses, hotel stays, and travel experiences.

As a final year student, this couldn't have come at a better time! 😍 Planning our graduation trip will be so much easier now. Just hope the discounts apply to popular destinations like Goa and Manali too, not just obscure locations.

Good initiative but will it really help students from smaller towns? Most discounts are usually only for metro cities. Also what about verification - many students don't have proper ID cards from their colleges.

This is exactly what India's youth needs! Travel broadens the mind and students should explore our beautiful country. Kudos to both companies for this partnership 👏 Hope they include budget hostels and homestays in the options too.

Interesting move. The student travel market is indeed booming in India. However, I hope they maintain quality standards - sometimes deep discounts mean poor service. Safety should be priority #1 for student travelers.

As someone who missed out on college trips due to costs, I'm so happy for current students! But companies should also think about including online students - we're a growing segment who could benefit from travel discounts too.
