With international aspirations and privacy-focused campaigns, Digi Yatra aims for a multilingual, secure travel ecosystem by 2025.

Digi Yatra, the cutting-edge platform employing facial authentication technology, has reshaped the airport travel experience, boasting over 9 million active users and facilitating more than 42 million seamless journeys. As of 2024, the platform operates across 24 airports, a significant expansion from its initial presence in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Varanasi.

The innovative system ensures swift passenger mobility, enhanced security, and a fully contactless process, significantly reducing travel time. Digi Yatra's collaboration with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) marked a milestone, propelling towards seamless global travel experiences through the 'IATA One-ID X Digi Yatra India' initiative, laying the groundwork for its international expansion.

Amidst its achievements, the platform remains committed to user privacy with campaigns like d-KYC, focusing on providing services without accessing personal data. Looking ahead, CEO Suresh Khadakbhavi envisions further growth by adding more airports and launching an international pilot project for e-passport holders by 2025, while supporting 22 official Indian languages to enhance accessibility.
