Meet Shivam Kumar, Founder of EZIO — The Startup Building a Social Travel Ecosystem
“Indian Startup EZIO Wants to Become the Instagram of Travel”
In an era where travel is no longer just about booking flights and hotels, a new generation of travel startups is redefining how people explore the world.
One such emerging name is EZIO, a travel-tech platform founded by Shivam Kumar, an entrepreneur who believes travel should be more social, inspiring, and community-driven.
With the launch of the EZIO platform and an upcoming mobile app featuring gamification, the startup aims to build a social travel companion for modern explorers.
Interview With Founder Shivam Kumar
Q: Tell us about your background and how the idea of EZIO started.
Travel has always fascinated me. But while planning trips for myself and others, I realized that the current travel ecosystem is fragmented.
People search for inspiration on social media, then check reviews on different platforms, and finally book through travel agents or booking sites.
I started thinking — what if travel inspiration, planning, and booking could exist in one place?
That thought eventually led to the creation of EZIO.
