RateGain Travel Technologies is amongst the leading distribution technology companies globally. It is the largest Software as a Service (SaaS) company in the hospitality and travel industry in India. Although the company has shown losses over the past years and revenue with fluctuating figures, the company has a unique and evolving business idea and may grow more in the future also there are no listed peers in the stock exchange.
