Round the Blue

Turning Travel Dreams into Clickable Realities

Introduction of Project

Round the Blue is a next-generation travel-tech platform engineered to redefine how journeys are booked in the Indian travel ecosystem. Unlike traditional portals that only serve end-users, it introduces a hybrid digital marketplace where both customers and travel agents thrive. The platform empowers independent travellers with seamless flight and hotel bookings, while giving registered agents the capability to design, customise, and publish bespoke travel packages. These packages are instantly accessible to all users, merging offline expertise with online convenience. With deep integration of leading global APIs like TBO and Travelogy, Round the Blue ensures real-time inventory access, dynamic pricing control, and accurate availability, creating a transparent and competitive booking environment.

Problem Statement
