Partnership Announcement

On July 22, 2026, in Pune, India, ZentrumHub – an AI‑powered travel technology firm that connects travel businesses to more than 100 hotel suppliers and over 10 million properties via a single universal API – disclosed a strategic connectivity partnership with RateGain, a global leader in AI‑powered SaaS solutions for travel and hospitality. The collaboration, first announced in June 2026, aims to simplify hotel distribution and reduce the complexity of integrations across the worldwide travel ecosystem.

Partner Profiles and Reach

RateGain serves over 13,000 customers and 700 partners across more than 160 countries, and its network includes 33 of the top 40 hotel chains. It also works with four of the top five airlines, seven of the top ten car‑rental companies, and all leading destination‑marketing organisations, OTAs, and metasearch platforms, counting 25 Global Fortune 500 companies among its clientele. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in India, RateGain processes large volumes of electronic transactions, price points, and travel‑intent data for revenue‑management, distribution, and marketing teams.

ZentrumHub’s platform connects OTAs, travel agencies, destination‑management companies (DMCs) and wholesalers to the pre‑integrated hotel supplier base through its single API. Its two products – Zentrum Connect and the Zentrum Booking Engine – serve more than 90 enterprise travel customers across 30+ countries, handling over 50 million API calls daily with a reported 99.99 % uptime.

Operational Benefits of the Partnership

Travel agencies, DMCs and wholesalers already linked to ZentrumHub will gain faster access to a deeper hotel inventory without needing additional point‑to‑point integrations. Conversely, hotel suppliers on RateGain’s network obtain a streamlined route to ZentrumHub’s demand ecosystem of 90+ enterprise travel companies, eliminating repetitive onboarding cycles. The joint framework is designed to reduce the time required for supply and demand partners to connect from months to weeks.

Executive Statements

Bhushan Tamhankar, Co‑founder and COO of ZentrumHub, said, “Fragmented connectivity continues to be one of the biggest operational challenges in travel distribution. This partnership removes the barriers that traditionally slow distribution, giving connected partners faster access to broader supply and demand, in weeks rather than months.”

Anurag Jain, Executive Vice President – Revenue (APMEA) at RateGain, added, “Travel distribution today is still heavily fragmented, with suppliers and demand partners managing multiple integrations, onboarding cycles, and disconnected connectivity layers. Our partnership with ZentrumHub is focused on simplifying that complexity through a more unified connectivity framework that enables faster access between global supply and demand ecosystems. Together, we are building a more scalable and interoperable foundation for the future of travel distribution.”

Strategic Significance

The partnership reinforces ZentrumHub’s mission to become the connectivity backbone of global hotel distribution, while extending RateGain’s reach into a broader demand pool of enterprise travel firms. By unifying over 100 hotel suppliers and more than 10 million properties under a single API, the collaboration seeks to create a more interoperable travel infrastructure, accelerating the pace at which supply and demand can find each other.
