Sciative’s latest study focused on the peak Diwali travel window – October 24th to November 10th, 2024 – compared to an average period in August.

These KPIs, reflecting both seat occupancy and revenue generation, demonstrate Sciative’s success in anticipating demand spikes and optimizing seat allocation during this high-travel season.
“As India’s leading pricing solutions provider, Sciative has redefined how travel operators manage demand during peak seasons like Diwali,” said Dr. Anshu Jalora, Founder and Managing Director of Sciative. “Our AI-powered pricing tools identify demand patterns well in advance, allowing operators to make real-time price adjustments that balance profitability with customer affordability. The ability to increase bookings tenfold highlights how data-driven pricing can revolutionize revenue outcomes across diverse markets.”
Several bus operators have shared their positive experiences with Sciative’s AI pricing approach:
Subba Rama Reddy, Managing Director, Samanvi Travels: “The pricing algorithms we use have not only doubled our revenue but have been key in maximizing profitability.”
Navsharan Garcha, Managing Director, Kanker Roadways: “Using AI for pricing was a game-changer. Initially, we were hesitant, but with Sciative’s guidance, we’ve been able to eliminate manual processes and confidently drive revenue growth.”
