Traveltech platform ixigo has partnered with Kunal Shah-led CRED to exclusively power flight bookings for the newly launched CRED IndusInd Bank RuPay Credit Card.
Through this collaboration, cardholders will be able to book flights directly within the CRED ecosystem, with ixigo’s flight inventory and technology running the entire booking process.
Seamless Travel Meets Premium Membership
The partnership combines CRED’s premium member base with ixigo’s expertise in building frictionless travel solutions. Members can plan trips worldwide, track check-ins, gate changes, and baggage updates in real time — all from within the CRED app, designed to function as a personal concierge.
Nitin Gurha, SVP of Flight & Hotel Business at ixigo, said:
“We are delighted to partner with CRED on this exclusive initiative. With CRED’s premium member base and ixigo’s deep expertise in powering seamless travel experiences, this collaboration will redefine how CRED members book flights and redeem points. The new card provides a range of exclusive benefits designed to cater to both frequent and occasional travellers, addressing the evolving needs of modern flyers who seek flexibility, convenience, and value.”
Akshay Aedula, Product and Growth at CRED, added that the integration ensures members can book trips anywhere in the world while relying on CRED to handle logistics, from gate updates to baggage tracking.
