Online tech travel platform EaseMyTrip.com has secured a non-controlling approximately 13% stake in Eco Hotels and Resorts Limited.
Eco Hotels operates in the hotel and hospitality industry, aligning well with EaseMyTrip’s commitment to diversify its portfolio. The primary objective of this strategic investment is to acquire a minority interest and promote environmentally friendly practices within the hospitality sector.
