Prashant Pitti Steps Down, Nishant Pitti Takes Control

EaseMyTrip officially announced that Prashant Pitti has stepped down from his position as MD, effective immediately. Following this, Nishant Pitti has been elevated to the role of Chairman and MD, pending shareholders' approval. Nishant has been integral to the company’s journey since its inception in 2008. His reappointment to the board in May last year was for a span of 5 years, indicating continued strategic involvement despite his earlier resignation as CEO.

The company reiterated Nishant Pitti’s earlier commitment that no further promoter shares will be sold and that all promoters will continue to draw zero salary, underscoring strong alignment with shareholders and confidence in EaseMyTrip’s long-term growth.

Leadership Changes and Shareholding Adjustments

Earlier in 2025, Nishant Pitti resigned from the CEO position due to personal reasons. The CEO's responsibilities were then handed over to Rikant Pitti. Alongside this leadership realignment, Nishant had also declared plans to divest his remaining 14% stake in EaseMyTrip via block deals. However, he succeeded in offloading only 1.4% amid market constraints, holding on to the remainder of his shares.
