Ask before you sign
- Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
- Ask for every upfront payment in writing — deposit, onboarding, equipment or stock — and which parts are refundable.
- Ask exactly how your margin or commission is calculated, when it's paid, and whether the brand can change it.

Our Estimates
FranchiseChuno estimateEaseMyTrip doesn't publish these, so here is our best read of the market and how we got there. They are our estimates, not the brand's figures — use them to plan, then confirm the real numbers in writing.
Likely one-time brand fee
₹1.5–3.5 L*
EaseMyTrip's all-in range is ₹3.5–7.9 L. Fitting out and branding a 200–400 sq ft counter store in a tier-2/3 market typically costs ₹1.5–3 L, plus about ₹50,000 for computers and printer and a rent deposit. What is left, roughly ₹1.5–3.5 L rising with city category, is the most plausible size of the brand fee.
Unit-economics model · Sep 2026
Monthly profit for a typical new store (first year)
₹0–40,000*
Assumes a new store books 150–400 air tickets a month (about ₹9–24 L of fares) at roughly 1–2% net commission, plus ₹2–5 L of hotels and holidays at 5–10%, for ₹30,000–75,000 of gross commission. Rent (₹15,000–35,000), one staff member (₹15,000–25,000) and utilities take most of that. Stores with an existing corporate or visa client base can do much better; EaseMyTrip's 'up to ₹30 L a year' is the top of the range, not the norm.
Unit-economics model · Sep 2026
Payback on the initial investment
12–36 months*
Dividing the ₹3.5–7.9 L investment by a steady-state monthly profit of ₹20,000–60,000 once the store has local repeat customers gives about 1–3 years. This is longer than the brand's 6–8 months, which refers to operating profitability, not recovering the investment.

- Annual earnings (brand claim)EaseMyTrip says a franchisee can 'earn up to ₹30 lakh annually'; it doesn't say whether this is commission income or profit after costs, or how many stores achieve it.
- 30,00,000 INR
- Time to operational profitability (brand claim)The Jan 2023 launch release said 3–4 months.
- 6 – 8 months
What EaseMyTrip Says You Can Earn
Brand claimEaseMyTrip's own claim — no evidence given. These are not FranchiseChuno's estimates or a promise of earnings; ask existing franchisees what they actually make.
- Operating break-evenMonths until monthly profit turns positive — not the same as getting your money back.
- 6 months – 8 months
EaseMyTrip says stores reach operational profitability within 6–8 months (its Jan 2023 launch release said 3–4 months) and that a franchisee can earn up to ₹30 L a year. It doesn't publish commission rates, a sample of stores, an ROI or a payback period, and doesn't say whether the ₹30 L is before or after costs.

EaseMyTrip posts a loss for FY26
EaseMyTrip's FY26 consolidated revenue from operations fell to ₹535.7 Cr from ₹587.3 Cr, and it reported a ₹47.6 Cr loss after a ₹108.7 Cr profit in FY25. Gross booking revenue was about ₹8,376 Cr, with hotels and holidays and its Dubai business growing fastest. The loss came mainly from a ₹51 Cr provision against amounts owed by an airline under a UDAAN-scheme sales agreement; before that item the group still lost about ₹6.6 Cr.

ED chargesheet names chairman Nishant Pitti in Mahadev betting case
Inc42 reported in Sep 2026 that the Enforcement Directorate had named co-founder and chairman Nishant Pitti in a supplementary prosecution complaint filed on 10 Sep 2026 before a special PMLA court in Raipur, in the Mahadev betting-app money-laundering case. The ED alleges he helped route illegal betting proceeds into Indian shares through FPIs and has provisionally attached his shares worth ₹59.6 Cr. These are allegations: Pitti said he was not aware of any chargesheet and would contest them, and EaseMyTrip said it had received no formal intimation of proceedings. The ED had searched premises linked to Pitti and EaseMyTrip in Apr 2025.
