Yatra Attains Leadership Position in Corporate Travel with the Acquisition of Air Travel Bureau Ltd

Gurgaon, India and New York, July 23, 2017 Yatra Online, Inc. ("Yatra" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:
YTRA and OTCQX: YTROF) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement, through
its subsidiary, Yatra Online Private Limited, under which it will acquire Air Travel Bureau Ltd. ("ATB"),
which is India's largest independent corporate travel services provider with Gross Bookings of INR 15
Billion generated through a diverse client base of over 400 large and medium sized businesses across
India.

Reason for acquisition - The acquisition significantly strengthened Yatra’s position in the large and
growing corporate travel market in India. As a combined entity, they are now the largest corporate
travel services platform in India by Gross Bookings. This acquisition would enable them to deliver
best-in-class experiences to an even wider set of travellers, through our web and mobile app
platforms and enhance their reach to cross-sell their entire product suite, including hotels, to this
customer base, as stated by Dhruv Shringi, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Yatra Online,
Inc.

“ATB has built a very strong presence over the last 30 years in the corporate travel space," said Sunil
Narain, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, ATB. "We're excited for ATB to join the Yatra family
and for our teams to work together to further enhance the offerings we provide to our customers
and partners by leveraging Yatra's technology platform and large hotel network."

The acquisition of Air Travel Bureau ('ATB'), one of India's largest independent corporate travel
companies during the quarter enabled us to create India's largest corporate travel platform with
over 660 large customers. ATB for the moment continues to operate as an independent entity and
we expect further growth and improved operating leverage once the ATB business is fully
integrated."

The Boards of Directors of both companies have approved the transaction. The first Closing to
acquire majority of the outstanding shares is expected to occur by mid-August, 2017 and the second
Closing is expected to occur in Q2 of the 2018 calendar year, subject to other customary closing

shares of ATB and assume its debt.
