Ixigo has a user base of 170 million out of which 30 million are monthly active users. This shows that the app can solve most of the problems of the Huawei and Honor smartphone users who travel a lot. The app even brings innovative features driven by AI, Voice and ML, for deal discovery, personalized recommendations, airfare predictions, train delay information, PNR confirmation status and more.
