The Founding Story of MyTravaly
Mr. Hamlet Roy began his journey as a hotelier, running a simple accommodation business in Bengaluru, India. While managing day-to-day operations, he experienced firsthand the challenges hoteliers face in marketing, managing bookings, and reaching global travelers.
From this experience, the idea of MyTravaly was born—an innovative marketplace designed to connect travelers and hoteliers worldwide. His vision was not just to create another booking platform, but to build a complete ecosystem for hoteliers: a one-stop solution offering all the premium tools they need—Property Management System (PMS), self-service portals, multi-currency payments, and marketing support—at an affordable cost. MyTravaly was founded back in 2029, marking the beginning of a journey to redefine travel tech in India and beyond.
From Vision to Execution
Starting as a bootstrap venture, Hamlet built MyTravaly with a lean team of dedicated professionals, focusing on creating tangible value for hoteliers and travelers alike. Today, the company operates with a team of 36 members, supporting over 10,000 hotel hosts and more than one million travelers worldwide. Hamlet’s hands-on leadership ensures that every aspect of the business—from partnerships and technology to customer experience—is aligned with his vision of seamless travel.
Under his guidance, MyTravaly has introduced innovative solutions such as an advanced PMS for hoteliers and a customer self-service portal for bookings, modifications, cancellations, and rewards. These tools simplify hotel operations while enhancing the traveler’s experience, bridging the gap between service and technology.
A Vision for Global Expansion
Hamlet’s ambition goes beyond India. He is actively working to expand MyTravaly into Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, creating a global marketplace for smart hotels. His focus on transparency, innovation, and quality reflects a forward-thinking mindset that combines entrepreneurial drive with a commitment to building meaningful experiences for both travelers and hoteliers.
Leadership Philosophy and Impact
Hamlet Roy believes that technology, when paired with a human-centric approach, can transform industries. By empowering hoteliers with advanced tools and giving travelers a seamless experience, he is reshaping how people explore, connect, and experience the world. His journey from a hotelier in Bengaluru to the CEO of a global travel tech company is a testament to vision, perseverance, and the power of innovation.
