Press Release Summary: Strikes partnerships with leading hotel and hostel
aggregators & review sites

Press Release Body: New Delhi, July 17, 2008: iXiGO.com, India's fastest growing
travel search engine, today unveiled its new and improved hotel search engine with
tools for searching from an expansive range of accommodation options across India
aided by reviews from multiple sites.

iXiGO now features accommodation options from Travelguru, India's leading hotel
network, Inasra, a fast-growing Chennai-based hotel aggregator, and Hostelworld, a
leading online reservations provider to the budget, independent and youth travelers.
These strategic tie-ups make iXiGO India's biggest hotel and hostel search engine,
featuring over 6400 properties in more than 400 cities and towns across India,
comparing prices from 40 hotel and hostel booking websites. The new hotel search
will give online accommodation seekers a never-before range of options ranging from
hostels to serviced apartments and luxury resorts - all available on one page. In
addition to the enhanced inventory base, iXiGO has entered into partnerships with
HolidayIQ and OKTataByeBye - two of the leading Indian hotel review sites. Users can
now read hotel reviews written by other travelers on these partner sites, compare
hotel rates from multiple hotel aggregators, before deciding on the best fit
accommodation. iXiGO facilitates users to find the best deal and redirects them to
hotel booking site for completion of transaction.

Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Mr. Rajnish Kumar, co-founder & CTO remarked
- "Our 2.0 release is definitely the killer-app for hotels. Users can now navigate
through more detailed map views, narrow down to hotels near an address they specify
within the city, and even filter down to their favourite hotel chain brands at the
click of a mouse". Aloke Bajpai, founder and CEO, added - "iXiGOers want
comprehensiveness, choice, and unbiased reviews before they make hotel booking
decisions, and that's what we have given them today. It is yet another effort from
us to make online travel search in India smarter, easier and faster".
