Press Release Summary: Never before Rates and Access to over 4,500 hotels across 320
Indian cities

Press Release Body: New Delhi, April 9, 2008: iXiGO.com, India's fastest growing
travel search engine, today announced the launch of India's most comprehensive hotel
search. With iXiGO's hotel search, customers will be empowered to search and book
accommodation in real time with instant confirmation at best prices across 4500
hotels in 320 Indian cities. iXiGO's new hotel search provides users with more
choice than ever before, as it includes budget accommodation across hostels,
guest-houses, serviced apartments and villas. A sample search for hotels in
Bangalore retrieved 185 properties with more than 25 options available at less than
1500 Rs. per room night.

iXiGO's hotel search accesses more than 30 leading national and international hotel
booking websites, enabling comparisons of room tariffs of the same hotel across
multiple sites within a few seconds. The hotel search engine sorts accommodation by
price, star ratings, amenities and allows detailed views for maps and photos; all in
a single webpage. An instant keyword search on names, addresses and filters on best
value within hotels narrows down the search - features so far restricted to only
select international travel portals.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Aloke Bajpai, Founder & CEO of iXiGO said, "We are
bringing our disruptive flight search model to hotel bookings by allowing instant
real-time search across hotel booking sites. By comparing aggregators like Expedia,
Travelocity, Orbitz, Desiya and some exclusive international content partners such
as HotelsCombined, we hope to strategically integrate with booking sites of
independent hotels and hotel chains in the future, to better manage their yields and
lower their internet distribution costs".

iXiGO's rapid growth is a direct result of its disruptive model that allows
travelers to search and book directly on airline sites, saving them time and money
while reducing distribution costs for airlines. Launched in June 2007, iXiGO has
been named as one of the most innovative startups in the world by Red Herring
magazine and NASSCOM. iXiGO recently closed a pre-Series A investment round with
Singapore-based investment fund, BAF Spectrum.
