Nishant Pitti, founder and chairman of travel company EaseMyTrip, has issued an emotional statement after the Patiala House Court in Delhi granted an interim injunction directing the removal of what the court order described as offending publications against him.
In a post on X, Pitti said the order was passed on 1 October 2026 and said it also restrained the publication of what he described as false, defamatory and misleading content concerning him.
“On 1 October 2026, the Patiala House Court, New Delhi, granted an interim injunction directing the removal of offending publications against me and restraining the publication of false, defamatory and misleading content concerning me. Behind every headline is a person, a family and years of effort that few people ever see. For 22 years, I have given my heart to building a dream. The sleepless nights, the sacrifices, the setbacks and the responsibility towards those who trusted me have shaped my life.”
Nishant Pitti: ‘The past few days have hurt deeply’
Pitti said the impact of the recent developments had extended to his family.
“The past few days have hurt deeply. But the hardest part has been watching my family carry that pain. They have lived every struggle with me, and seeing them suffer is more painful than anything written about me. To everyone who called, reached out or quietly stood beside me, thank you. At a time when words caused so much pain, your kindness gave me strength. I am hurt, but my hope and determination remain. I still have dreams to build, promises to honour and people to make proud,” Nishant Pitti further said.
Nishant Pitti was named ‘India’s Most Influential Entrepreneur’
Earlier, in March this year, Pitti was named “India’s Most Influential Entrepreneur” at the National Leadership Summit & Awards 2026.
EaseMyTrip noted that the award highlighted Pitti’s impact on the travel industry.
“This prestigious accolade recognises his role in revolutionising the travel-tech landscape through homegrown innovation and a steadfast commitment to the consumer,” the company said in a social media post.
The travel platform also credited Pitti’s leadership for its market position and growth trajectory.

According to the company, Pitti’s direction has enabled EaseMyTrip to expand its presence in India and overseas.
“under his vision, EaseMyTrip continues to reach new heights and set global benchmarks for excellence in the travel industry.”
According to the company, Pitti founded EaseMyTrip more than 17 years ago and helped transform it from a bootstrapped startup into one of India’s leading online travel-tech platforms.
The company said that under his leadership, it has focused on innovation, customer-centricity and operational excellence, with the aim of making travel more seamless, personalised and accessible to travellers.
EaseMyTrip’s EMT 2.0 initiative
Pitti’s leadership has also focused on what the company describes as the democratisation of travel, with an emphasis on making travel more inclusive and accessible.
According to EaseMyTrip, Pitti’s approach has helped the company navigate a competitive travel industry while maintaining what it describes as a cash-rich, debt-free and profitable financial position since inception.
The company has also credited him with the launch of EMT 2.0, a strategic initiative aimed at positioning EaseMyTrip as a broader travel and lifestyle ecosystem.
Pitti’s latest statement comes after the Delhi court’s interim injunction, with the EaseMyTrip founder saying that despite the events of the past few days, he remains focused on his future plans and commitments.
