Easy Trip Planners proposed on January 6 in a filing to the BSE that EaseMyTrip Insurance Broker Private Limited establish a new income vertical for the company and allow it to grow its insurance broker and related services business. According to Easy Trip Planners, the company's primary goal is to conduct insurance broker business, and its registered office is located in Delhi, the nation's capital.
According to Easy Trip Planner, 60% of the share capital subscription is paid for in cash as part of the sale consideration.
