Corporate Overview & History
Rehlat was founded in 2014 by a group of travel‑tech entrepreneurs with the vision of making air‑fare and hotel bookings affordable and transparent for the Middle‑East and South‑Asian markets. Starting as a modest flight‑search aggregator in Dubai, the platform quickly expanded its inventory to include hotels, car rentals, and travel insurance, leveraging partnerships with global distribution systems (GDS) such as Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport.
By 2018 Rehlat had secured a presence in over 30 countries, processing more than 2 million bookings annually. In 2020 the company opened its first Indian technology and operations hub in Bangalore, followed by a customer‑experience centre in Hyderabad and a sales & marketing office in Mumbai. The core mission today is “to empower travelers with data‑driven pricing and a seamless end‑to‑end booking experience.”
