This Rakshabandhan, get Rakhi Delivery on your Train Seat on Zoop, ixigo and ConfirmTkt

Gurugram, 7th August 2025: In a heartfelt initiative to bridge distances and strengthen sibling bonds, ixigo Trains and ConfirmTkt have teamed up with Zoop to launch a special ‘Rakhi Delivery on Trains’. From August 5 to August 10, passengers can surprise their loved ones by ordering Rakhis, chocolates, and tilak essentials (roli and chawal) straight to their train seat or berth.

Passengers can now conveniently order Rakhi hampers with just a tap through the ConfirmTkt, ixigo Trains or Zoop apps. By navigating to the homepage or ‘trip details’ section and entering their PNR, travellers can view a list of eligible stations, select a Rakhi store on a station along the way, choose their preferred combo, and have it delivered directly to their train seat, making festive gifting seamless, even while on the move.

Rakhi hampers will be available to order across several major railway stations in India, including New Delhi (NDLS), Varanasi (BSB), Nagpur (NGP), Bhopal (BPL), Surat (ST), Warangal (WL), Kota (KOTA), Kanpur (CNB) and many more. These hampers come in a variety of designs and thoughtfully curated combos, starting at just Rs.199, making it easy for passengers to find the perfect Rakhi surprise to suit every liking and budget.

Speaking on this, Sripad Vaidya, COO, ixigo Trains and ConfirmTkt, said, “Every year, millions of Indians travel by train to reunite with their families for Raksha Bandhan. But for those caught in the last-minute rush, buying Rakhi gifts while travelling no longer needs to be a stressful, offline hassle. With just a few taps, travellers can get Rakhi hampers delivered right to their train seat, making festive gifting more convenient and thoughtful, even while in transit. ”

Puneet Sharma, CEO & Co-Founder, Zoop, added, “We are already one of the leading food delivery aggregators that deliver to train seats and berths at over 200 stations across India. Now we are able to bring festive joy directly to train seats with this initiative.”
