What this section holds
Back to the Singapore trip from the start of this Market Segment.
Atlysmakes the visa application digital. It shows the requirements for each country, checks the documents, and finds an appointment. It is built for Indian travellers. Atlys has engineers in Delhi, and the most job postings in this Market Segment.
Scapiasells a travel credit card. Its rewards are spent on travel, and it charges no extra fees abroad. It has engineers in Bengaluru. Scapia also appears in another Market Segment. (More on it in Market Segment 17.5, UPI apps, wallets and neobanks, in Industry Vertical 17, Payments.)
Pilotbuilds itineraries with AI, and lets a group of friends plan a trip together. It has engineers in Bengaluru.
Three things before a first trip abroad, and the company in this Market Segment for each: Atlys for the visa, Pilot for the itinerary, and Scapia for paying abroad without extra fees.
VFS Global and BLS International, which run visa application centres, are not covered in this Market Segment.
The border crossed without paper.
Visas are moving online. Some countries now issue a visa within minutes, against documents checked online. Atlys is built on that change. The next step is to check a traveller's identity once, and carry it through the visa, the airline and the border. Governments are building this faster than the travel industry is. (More on checking a person's identity online in Market Segment 4.3, KYC, identity verification and fraud prevention, in Industry Vertical 4, Cybersecurity.)
The border crossed without paper: a traveller's identity is checked once, online, and carried through the visa, the airline and the border.
That is how the Singapore trip got ready. The visa was applied for online, the days were planned with AI, and the card paid abroad without extra fees.
