Yatra Online, Inc. (“Yatra”) has announced its collaboration with Amazon Business, in an effort to provide hospitality partners with products, catering to the hospitality segment.
Yatra’s hospitality partners can leverage the Amazon Business marketplace as a one stop destination to access a wide range of products across categories to cater to their various needs to service customers and procure products in a safe and efficient manner. These partners can choose from a wide selection of products like commercial grade kitchen appliances, kitchen storage solutions, linen &, décor items, waste management products, large appliances, office supplies, safety and sanitization products and much more. They will get access to deals from over 3.5 lakh sellers across the country and not just be reliant on their local network for procurement. With the disruption of the traditional supply chain in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, they will also get the added convenience of Amazon’s safe and reliable delivery infrastructure when shopping on the Amazon Business marketplace.
Hospitality partners of Yatra can enjoy benefits of bulk pricing and GST invoices to ensure compliance and claim input tax credit along with 4%* unlimited cashbacks on business purchases. This partnership aims to create ‘one-stop-shop’ for 108,000 hotels across the country, thereby improving accessibility and procurement processes.
Commenting on this association Dhruv Shringi, Co-founder & CEO, Yatra.com, said, “We are glad to announce our association with Amazon Business to help our hospitality partners for all their daily and monthly product requirements. This is another step towards diversification of our portfolio beyond travel.

Amazon has been a market leader in the e-commerce space and through Amazon Business, we want to offer an avenue to our partners where necessities are just a ‘click’ away.”
Sharing his comments on the tie-up, Peter George, Director, Amazon Business, said, “We are happy to partner with Yatra.com and help its hospitality partners get access to a one stop destination for all their emerging operational needs.
