Yatra Online Names Dhruv Shringi Executive Chairman, Appoints Siddhartha Gupta as CEO

Online travel services platform Yatra Online Ltd on Tuesday announced a major leadership transition, elevating co-founder and CEO Dhruv Shringi to the role of Executive Chairman of the Board.

In a regulatory filing, the company said it has also appointed Siddhartha Gupta as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective November 25. Shringi, who has led the company since its inception, will now focus on steering Yatra’s long-term vision—driving global expansion, innovation, and shareholder value—while working closely with the board and the leadership team.

Yatra said the strategic leadership shift is designed to fuel the company’s next phase of growth.

Gupta brings over 25 years of experience across enterprise technology and B2B SaaS, with senior roles at SAP, HP, and several high-growth SaaS ventures in India and abroad. His expertise spans scaling businesses, driving digital transformation, and strengthening customer partnerships, the company noted.

“With Siddhartha coming on board, we are bringing in the right leadership at the right time. His depth of experience in enterprise sales and SaaS aligns perfectly with Yatra's B2B-first strategy,” Shringi said.

Over the past 12 months, Yatra added 148 new corporate clients, representing an annual business potential exceeding ₹700 crore.

Expressing enthusiasm about his new role, Gupta said:
“I am excited to join Yatra at such a pivotal point in its journey. The company has built a strong foundation with a powerful brand, deep customer relationships, and a leadership position in the corporate travel space. My focus will be on accelerating growth, enhancing our technology and service portfolio, and delivering greater value to our customers. Together, we will scale Yatra to new heights, strengthen our international presence, and continue setting benchmarks in managed business travel.”
