R. Madhavan, Co-Founder of Stars Golf League, emphasized bringing together big names from different sporting worlds to create a competitive and celebratory experience.

Industry Context

Stars Golf League Mauritius follows the World Tennis League and World Padel League, both built by the same team. The long-term vision seeks to create an annual platform strengthening Mauritius' position on the world's luxury sporting and tourism map.

Easy Trip Planners Limited has introduced ReSave, a new technology-led offering designed to provide customers with potential fare savings even after they have completed a flight booking. Launched on August 18, 2026, the initiative aims to address post-booking uncertainty by monitoring itineraries for eligible price reductions and facilitating access to those savings.

ReSave is offered as a zero-cost add-on integrated directly into the booking journey. Unlike conventional tools that require manual tracking by users, this feature automatically monitors the booked itinerary. If an eligible fare reduction is identified under the plan terms, 100% of the final net savings are returned to the customer without any additional charges.

Strategic Shift in Travel Technology

Rikant Pittie, CEO and Co-Founder of EaseMyTrip, stated that the evolution of travel technology is moving beyond search efficiency and transaction completion. He noted that the next opportunity lies in creating value across the entire travel lifecycle, including the period after purchase.

"ReSave is built around this principle of extending our price proposition beyond the point of purchase and giving customers an opportunity to benefit when eligible fares decline subsequently," Pittie said. He added that the move represents a broader industry shift from transaction-led technology to solutions that remain relevant throughout the customer journey.

The launch aligns with the company's broader strategy to leverage Agentic AI capabilities. EaseMyTrip is focusing on making travel more intelligent, proactive, and personalised by anticipating customer needs at different stages of their journey.
