Indian railways has launched online hotel booking service powered by Cleartrip (they are the exclusive provider of hotel content, availability and pricing to the Indian Railways)
This is quite a big win for ClearTrip as Indian Railways is one of the most successful e-commerce site in India and the partnership itself will give Cleartrip a huge user base.
In the month of November 2008, IndianRailways website successfully booked Rs 3.7Billion ($74.2mn) worth of e-transaction and even if a small % of that does hotel booking, you know the number Cleartrip is targeting!
