EaseMyTrip has also undergone key leadership changes to support its growth and diversification plans. Founder Nishant Pitti was appointed Chairman and Managing Director, steering the company’s long-term strategy around innovation, business expansion, and stakeholder value creation. Co-founder Prashant Pitti has stepped back from daily management to focus on entrepreneurial and social ventures, while retaining his role as a promoter. Vikas Bansal has been inducted as a Whole-time Director, marking a strengthened leadership team aligned with future goals. Additionally, Sankalp Kaul has been appointed as CTO, and Manmeet Ahluwalia as CMO.
