Whether you are planning an international holiday, a weekend getaway, or need instant travel assistance, DIYA delivers fast, personalised, and accurate results.

It marks a major step forward in our mission to pair innovation with customer-first experience.”

DIYA represents the culmination of years of work in AI architecture, natural language processing, and multilingual model optimisation. We’ve built a system that not only understands complex travel requests but can also act on them instantly, across more than 100 languages, with cultural and contextual sensitivity. This is the kind of AI that doesn’t just answer questions—it anticipates traveler needs and solves them in real time,” said Dr. Shakti Goel, Chief Architect & Data Scientist at Yatra Online Limited.

The launch marks a significant leap in Yatra’s AI-led innovation roadmap, aiming to provide personalised, instant, and intuitive travel experiences for both domestic and international travelers.
DIYA is now live on the Yatra platform for both logged-in and guest users, making advanced travel planning accessible to everyone.

Real-world use case: A traveler can say, “Plan a trip to Prague from Delhi from Sept 10 for 7 days with visits to neighbouring countries, show me only Emirates flights, and hotels under ₹7,000 per night” and DIYA will instantly create a complete plan, shortlist options, and allow direct booking, all in the language of the traveler’s choice.
