Delphi World Money acquires management control in Ebix Travels, ETTravelWorld

Delphi World Money has acquired an equity stake, along with management control, in Ebix Travels Private, a company within the Ebix Group that provides online travel services.

The acquisition represents Delphi’s diversification beyond financial services into the travel and tourism sector. By combining its RBI-authorised foreign exchange and remittance capabilities with Ebix’s established travel services, Delphi aims to create an integrated platform covering airline bookings, luxury experiences, curated holidays, and MICE.

Commenting on the development, Dr. Vikas Garg, Chairman of the Ebix Group, said: “At Ebix Group, we are committed to redefining the travel and hospitality experience by combining technology, strategic partnerships, and exceptional service. Our aim is to deliver seamless, world-class offerings, from luxury travel and experiential journeys to corporate and institutional solutions, while creating meaningful value for travellers, aspiring youth, digital innovators, and forward-looking investors. Delphi represents the convergence of travel, finance, and technology, unlocking opportunities that shape the future and elevate experiences globally.”

Delphi enters this phase from a position of regulatory strength, operating as a Category II Authorised Dealer under the RBI. Its compliance and risk management frameworks provide a foundation to scale the business while ensuring trust. The company plans to pursue operational integration, cross-sell financial and travel products, and expand through digital platforms.

The transaction also aligns with broader industry trends, where financial services companies are leveraging digitalisation and regulatory expertise to move into adjacent markets. Delphi’s roadmap includes strengthening its stake in Ebix Travels, investing in technology-driven platforms, and building long-term enterprise value by aligning travel with financial solutions.

The strategic move is positioned to enhance customer experience across booking, travel and forex services, while contributing to the evolution of an integrated travel-finance ecosystem in India.
