ixigo launched an AI-native app at its ixigo NEXT event, integrating conversational assistant TARA with voice, text and tap support in English, Hindi and Hinglish, plus a Trip Mode consolidating post-booking information for travellers.

Why this matters

Builds on ixigo's earlier reveal of TARA and agentic booking flows, formalising a full AI-native app rebuild rather than a feature bolt-on within the OTA's stack.

Retail-brand activity steady at 1,070 signals over the last 90 days.
