Clearly non-notable company. coverage are entirely press or promotional in nature in media. I am surprised it is still here after long tagging of COI. Light2021 (talk) 11:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Seems like WP:BROCHURE to me. Not quite there, but borders on WP:G11. If the final consensus is to keep, major cleanup will be in order. -- Puzzledvegetable Is it teatime already?  15:45, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Yatra (company) (with the history preserved under the redirect per Deletion policy. The best source I could find about Travelguru was: The book notes: "Following in the footsteps of MakeMyTrip, Travelguru was one of the first portals to make its presence felt in the Indian market. Launched in May 2005 by two Harvard graduates — Ashwin Damera and Jarad Fisher — Travelguru was initially just a business plan the duo had submitted at the Harvard School Business Plan Competition. The plan came in at second place, and Damera and Fisher decided to turn it into a full-fledged business. The vision was to be a one-stop shop for the Indian customer's need for air travel, hotel and car rentals arrangements. The Travelguru folks, it seemed, had cottoned on to the idea of showcasing hotels and associated services even before MakeMyTrip. However, a few months into the business, Fisher decided to exit the project and was replaced by Ganesh Rengaswamy. One way or the other, the transitions within the company inadvertently proved favourable for MakeMyTrip as the honour of being considered the pioneer in offering associated services along with travel bookings remains with them. ... Realizing that the market for air travel was beginning to get cluttered, Travelguru shifted its energies to hotel bookings. The acquisition of New Jersey-based travel portal Desiya was another step in this direction. In 2009, Travelguru was acquired by Travelocity, and by June 2012 Yatra.com took oveer the company from Travelocity. The acquisition of Travelguru provided Yatra with Travelguru's inventory in hotels, thereby adding an additional 6,500 hotels in India and more than 70,000 hotels worldwide to their existing kitty. With this acquisition, Yatra became one of MakeMyTrip's strongest competitors."Preserving the history under the redirect will allow editors to merge any sourced material to Yatra (company).
