Founded in 2021 and based in Pune, ZentrumHub is an artificial intelligence-powered hotel booking API that acts as an end-to-end booking solution for online travel agencies.
When the COVID-19 pandemic shook up the world, the travel industry was among the hardest hit.
For years, Abhinav Sinha, a travel technology expert, had witnessed how travel companies struggle to link seamlessly with hotel suppliers and aggregators. The challenge was universal: complex integrations, unstable systems, endless costs, and painful delays.
“The thing is - everyone in the travel tech industry wanted to move fast. But supplier connectivity kept slowing everything down,” Abhinav tells Startup Pedia in an exclusive interview.
Abhinav reached out to two close friends – Mrigendra(Boney) Mittal, a B2B business strategist and marketing leader, and Bhushan Tamhankar, an operations veteran with nearly two decades at Akbar Travels and WNS Global. Eventually, Kumar Waghmode, who had been working in DevOps and analytics for close to fifteen years now, also joined the co-founder team.
Together, they decided to quit their jobs and offer a single, universal connection for online travel agents to access hotel APIs with speed, ease, and efficiency.
On April 14, 2021, ZentrumHub was officially established in Pune, Maharashtra.
To put it simply, think of ZentrumHub as a universal remote control for hotel bookings.
Instead of travel agencies having to manually and painstakingly connect with numerous different hotel suppliers one by one, ZentrumHub offers one unified connection that gives access to 100+ hotel suppliers instantly.
Zentrum Connect
It is a connectivity platform that enables buyers and sellers to access and distribute hotel inventories. When buyers connect with Zentrum Connect APIs, they automatically gain access to a wide range of hotel suppliers, such as bedbanks, GDSs, and channel managers.
“This is all done with just one unified API connection. Speed and efficiency go up, and costs come down,” Boney Mittal says.
Zentrum Booking Engine
The founders describe it as an AI-enabled B2B and B2C booking engine that end-to-end replicates an online travel agency hotel booking experience. It is loaded with modules like revenue management, currency conversion, white label, agent boarding, and hotel-room mapping integration.
ZentrumHub distinguishes itself from other solutions in the market by maintaining a 99.9% uptime. It also provides a robust AI-powered search, pricing algorithms, and white-label customization options.
Within four years, the bootstrapped business has witnessed a revenue growth of over 500%.
Currently, ZentrumHub serves 90+ global travel businesses in over ten countries. The platform’s clientele includes travel businesses such as Akbar Travels, TravClan, DowntownTravel, Fora Travel, and Musafir.com.
