What is TravelCarma?

TravelCarma is a travel technology platform owned by Avani Cimcon Technologies Ltd, an Ahmedabad software company with over 20 years of delivery work behind it. Its sales line is an Ahmedabad (079) number, and its founder and CEO is Saurabh Mehta. The product family covers booking engines for flights, hotels, cars, activities and transfers, a hotel and activity CRS, a B2B agent network, a travel back office, and a lighter SaaS product called TravelCarma Lite. The company says its technology has served more than 200 travel companies in 75+ countries, and most of the named clients are overseas agencies and DMCs.

Its strongest parts are the B2B and back-office layers. You can build multi-tier sub-agent downlines with their own credit limits, markups and recharges, give agents co-branded B2C portals, and run automated BSP/ARC reconciliation and supplier ledgers in the back office. On the supply side TravelCarma claims 85+ integrated suppliers, with Amadeus, Travelport, Mystifly, Kiwi and AeroCRS shown on its flight API page, and its FAQ mentions 30+ payment gateways and a book-now-pay-later option.

It is not a plug-and-play tool for a small Indian ticketing desk. The full platform is priced as a one-time setup fee plus a monthly SaaS subscription, or as a licence plus annual maintenance for enterprise installs, and no amounts are published. TravelCarma itself says its ideal customer handles 200+ bookings a month and $5M+ in gross annual bookings, or runs 100+ sub-agents, and already holds supplier APIs or direct contracts. Its supplier pages also do not name Indian consolidators or LCC direct connects, so check coverage for IndiGo, Air India Express or TBO-style suppliers before committing.

For smaller agencies the realistic entry point is TravelCarma Lite, a CRM, itinerary, quotation and GST-ready invoicing tool that can be started without a credit card and does not need your own booking engine. If you are a mid-size Indian B2B consolidator or DMC with existing supplier contracts, the main platform is worth a demo; the FAQ quotes go-live in 3-4 weeks when APIs are in hand, and one to two weeks for a standard setup without new integrations.

What works well

+Multi-tier sub-agent network with agent-wise credit limits, markups and online balance recharge
+Back office automates BSP/ARC reconciliation and keeps customer and supplier ledgers for online and offline bookings
+Hotel, activity, transfer and car rental CRS for selling directly contracted inventory with seasonal rates and stop-sell
+Claims 85+ supplier integrations including Amadeus, Travelport, Mystifly, Kiwi and AeroCRS
+FAQ says 30+ payment gateways are already integrated, with a book-now-pay-later mode
+TravelCarma Lite offers a free start with no credit card and GST-ready invoices for small agencies
+Quoted go-live of 3-4 weeks when supplier APIs and contracts are already in place

What to watch out for

−No published prices for the main platform, Lite or the setup fee
−Vendor targets agencies with 200+ monthly bookings or $5M+ annual GBV, so small agents are not its focus
−Supplier pages do not name Indian consolidators or Indian LCC direct connects
−No dedicated mobile app listing; mobile is offered as a separate custom 'Mobile Travel Apps' solution
−No security certifications are named on the site beyond AWS hosting and firewall protection
−Company addresses are not listed on the contact or leadership pages, only a phone number and email

Best suited for: Mid-size and large B2B travel consolidators managing many sub-agents · DMCs and tour operators that sell their own contracted hotels, activities and transfers · Agencies with existing GDS or supplier API contracts that want one booking and back-office stack · Small agencies wanting a CRM, itinerary builder and GST invoice tool through TravelCarma Lite

TravelCarma — frequently asked questions

What does TravelCarma cost in India?+

TravelCarma does not publish prices. Its main platform is sold either as SaaS, with a one-time setup fee and a monthly subscription covering hosting, upgrades and basic support, or as an enterprise licence with annual maintenance. The vendor says cost depends on the modules, supplier APIs and booking traffic you need, so request an INR quote with GST shown separately.

Is there a free trial of TravelCarma?+

The main TravelCarma platform is sold after a demo, but TravelCarma Lite has a 'Start Free' option that needs no credit card and no commitment. The page does not say how long free access lasts. Lite covers CRM, itineraries, quotes and GST-ready invoicing, so it is a fair way for a small agency to test the vendor before a larger purchase.

Who makes TravelCarma and is it Indian?+

Yes. TravelCarma is owned by Avani Cimcon Technologies Ltd, an Ahmedabad, Gujarat software company with more than 20 years of software delivery. Saurabh Mehta is listed as founder and CEO, and the sales line is an Ahmedabad number. Most of TravelCarma's named clients are overseas agencies and DMCs, so ask for Indian references during the demo.

Which suppliers and GDS does TravelCarma connect to?+

TravelCarma says it has integrated 85+ suppliers covering GDS, low-cost carriers, hotels, cars and activities. Its flight API page shows Amadeus, Travelport, Mystifly, IATI, Multireisen, Kiwi and AeroCRS. Indian consolidators and Indian airline direct connects are not named, so ask TravelCarma to confirm the specific Indian suppliers you rely on before signing.

How long does TravelCarma take to set up?+

According to the TravelCarma FAQ, an agency that already has supplier APIs and direct contracts can go live in about 3-4 weeks. A standard setup without customisation, new integrations or certification is estimated at one to two weeks. New supplier certifications or bespoke development will push that out, so plan the timeline around your supplier list.

Can TravelCarma manage B2B sub-agents?+

Yes. The TravelCarma B2B booking system lets you set up sub-agents who can create their own downline agents, with agent-wise credit limits, markups, commissions and online balance recharge. Agents can add their own real-time markups on B2C bookings and can be given co-branded portals for their customers, which suits Indian consolidators with large agent networks.

Does TravelCarma have a mobile app?+

TravelCarma does not list a ready-made app on Google Play or the App Store. Its booking portals work on mobile browsers, TravelCarma Lite advertises web and mobile access, and custom branded mobile travel apps are offered as a separate solution. If you need your own Android and iOS apps, get that quoted alongside the main platform.

Is TravelCarma data secure?+

TravelCarma hosts on AWS, uses built-in firewall protection and keeps databases reachable only through web services, according to its FAQ. TravelCarma Lite advertises 99.9% uptime on Amazon cloud. The website does not name certifications such as ISO 27001 or PCI DSS, so ask for them if you will handle card payments directly.

Does TravelCarma support GST invoices?+

TravelCarma Lite advertises GST-ready invoices along with accounting and reconciliation. The main back office generates invoices from customisable templates and lets you configure local taxes and fees. Confirm with TravelCarma that your GST setup, for example 18% on service fees or 5% on packages, is handled the way your accountant needs.

TravelCarma vs a white-label booking portal: what is the difference?+

TravelCarma argues that a white label only gives search and book, while its platform adds inventory, booking and agency management, accounting and reporting on top. Branding applies to the portal, admin, emails, vouchers and invoices. A white label is cheaper to start, but TravelCarma suits agencies that need sub-agents, reconciliation and their own contracted inventory.
