Speaking on the acquisitions, Nishant Pitti, CEO and co-founder of EaseMyTrip, said, “Our portfolio has expanded significantly with the inclusion of Rollins International and Pflege Home Healthcare. This move allows us to revolutionise medical tourism, making it more accessible and convenient for our customers. Whether for medical treatment or wellness retreats, we are committed to providing seamless, high-quality care to both domestic and international travellers.”
