RateGain Travel Technologies has been named Fastest Growing SaaS Company at The Economic Times Enterprise AI Awards 2026, the company announced on 18 September 2026.

About the award

The ET Enterprise AI Awards recognize organizations, technology providers and leaders delivering measurable business transformation through AI, with categories spanning AI products, enterprise adoption, responsible AI and industry-specific innovation. Entries in RateGain's category were judged by an independent jury on growth in annual recurring revenue, user growth, customer retention and engagement, and scale.

The scale behind it

RateGain says it works with 33 of the world's top 40 hotel chains, four of the top five airlines, seven of the top ten car rental companies and 25 Global Fortune 500 companies. It connects more than 200,000 properties to over 700 demand partners and processes more than 231 billion availability, rate and inventory updates each year.

The company stresses that this position has been built over more than two decades rather than a single product cycle. In March 2026 it consolidated its marketing technology capabilities under Sojern, adding what it describes as the largest source of travel intent data. Combined, these assets give RateGain's AI models a proprietary dataset, allowing customers to make pricing, distribution and marketing decisions from a single view of the traveler rather than three separate ones.

Comment

Bhanu Chopra, Founder and Managing Director, said RateGain was proud of the recognition, which "underscores the momentum we are building at the intersection of data, AI and travel technology". He added that as the customer base grows, the data and insights generated across the network strengthen its models, creating "a compounding advantage", and called the award a validation of both the company's growth and its ability to deliver enterprise AI at scale.

What it means for hotels

For hotel commercial teams already using RateGain for rate intelligence, distribution or guest acquisition, the company's message is that its AI capabilities are built on an unusually large pool of pricing and intent data.
