RateGain Travel Technologies Limited (RateGain) has expanded its collaboration with Royal Orchid Hotels, one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality chains, further extending the partnership to include the company’s new luxury and lifestyle brand, ICONIQA Hotels and Resorts. This development represents a major step in elevating guest engagement and revenue generation through next-generation technology.
As the hospitality sector continues to transform, travel-tech innovators and hotel operators are actively shaping the next generation of guest experience and operational excellence through such partnerships. It is also one of RateGain’s largest full-suite technology integrations to date, signaling a broader industry shift toward AI-enabled, unified commercial ecosystems.
As Royal Orchid accelerates its growth strategy — aiming to expand from 123 hotels to more than 250 properties — RateGain’s scalable architecture will play a key role in supporting this expansion while improving profitability across the portfolio. This move reflects a growing trend among hotel operators who are increasingly relying on AI-driven tools to streamline operations, reduce overheads, and deliver sustainable growth.
Arjun Baljee, Founder of ICONIQA and President of Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd., underscored the strategic relevance of this collaboration in building a “future-ready commercial engine” for the group. In parallel, Anurag Jain, Executive Vice President, Revenue (APMEA) at RateGain, highlighted the broader impact of this rollout, stating that it demonstrates the ability of AI to help hotels “unlock revenue through smarter technology.”
