In a world where large Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) dominate hotel bookings, one Indian startup is returning the power to hoteliers.
Meet MyTravaly, the travel tech startup supporting over 10,000 hoteliers worldwide to grow their businesses independently, without relying on middlemen.
Founded by Hamlet Roy, MyTravaly has recently launched the Hotel Business Centre — a full-stack, plug-and-play platform designed to help hotels, resorts, homestays, hostels, and campsites automate operations, boost occupancy, and drive direct bookings across multiple channels.
“We are not just solving for bookings — we are solving for independence,” says Hamlet Roy, CEO and Founder of MyTravaly. “The Hotel Business Centre gives hoteliers everything they need to run a modern, scalable, and profitable business — without depending on OTAs.”
The Problem: Too Much Commission, Too Little Control
For most small and mid-sized hotels, distribution comes at a high cost. OTAs often charge up to 30 percent in commission, eating into margins and limiting pricing flexibility. Hotel owners lose direct access to guest data and frequently struggle with manual operations, negative reviews, and underutilized inventory.
Hamlet Roy, who bootstrapped MyTravaly from scratch, identified this challenge early on.
“Independent hoteliers were working hard, but the system wasn’t working for them. We decided to build technology that puts them back in control.”
The Solution: MyTravaly’s Hotel Business Centre
A comprehensive business-in-a-box, the Hotel Business Centre combines a booking engine, property management system (PMS), guest management tools, and smart analytics into one unified dashboard. It enables hoteliers to:
- Accept direct bookings via website, mobile app, QR codes, and partner networks
- Automate check-ins, checkouts, and cancellations
- Track payments, guest data, reviews, and performance metrics in real time
- Reduce manual workload and increase staff efficiency
- Achieve up to 86 percent occupancy through MyTravaly’s multi-source booking strategy
- Operate in multiple currencies and languages, making it suitable for global expansion
“Whether you run a beachside homestay in Goa or a heritage resort in Rajasthan, this platform is for you,” says Hamlet.
Bootstrapped Growth and Built-In Trust
Unlike many travel tech companies, MyTravaly is entirely bootstrapped. The company has grown based on product value, word of mouth, and strong relationships with its hotel partners.
With teams currently operating in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh — and expansion plans targeting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East — the company is positioned for significant growth.
“We have built trust, not hype,” says Hamlet. “Our focus is on real growth, driven by actual users.”
What’s Next
Upcoming features include advanced guest personalization, AI-powered pricing tools, loyalty programs, and community marketing campaigns that connect travelers to unique stays around the world.
