Rikant Pittie is surely going places. The EaseMyTrip co-founder has purchased a commercial property for Rs 99.34 crore in Gurugram’s Sector 32, documents accessed by CRE Matrix, a real estate data analytics firm, showed.
The sale deed was executed in Pittie’s name on November 24, 2023. Pittie paid a stamp duty of Rs 6.95 crore for the transaction, the documents showed.
According to the documents, the property sits on 4,050 square metres or 43,594 square feet (sq ft) and it is located near Rajiv Chowk in the Delhi satellite city. The built-up area is 1,00,429 sq ft.
The documents showed that the building is a commercial establishment with a ground-plus-two-floor layout.
The property belonged to Knaup Management Services Pvt Ltd.
There was no immediate response available from the seller or buyer.
Pittie had made the headlines earlier when he bought shared pictures of his Lamborghini Urus Perfomante on his LinkedIn profile in September 2023, claiming it to be India’s first owner of the SUV from the Italian marque.
Pittie and his brothers had started a travel company when he was only 16. In 2008 they transformed it into EaseMyTrip.com, an online travel start-up platform designed with end-users in mind.
Earlier this month EaseMyTrip was in the limelight when it had suspended all Maldives bookings on its website "in solidarity" with India amid the India-Maldives diplomatic row.
