About Navayro
We help travelers get better value from airport shopping — before they fly.
Our mission
Most shopping tools show a price at one airport. Travelers need to know where on their own route the deal is best — whether that’s duty-free, a boutique, or electronics at a connection.
Navayro is a route-aware intelligence layer for airport shopping: set your itinerary on Trips, search or browse deals, save to Wishlist, and compare prices at every stop before you fly. We’re honest when data is thin and improving prices with traveler feedback.
What we’re building
Navayro helps travelers answer one question: where on my route should I buy this? Set your journey, find what you want, compare prices at every stop, and decide before you board — with Nyro when you want a straight answer.
- Route comparison — prices across every hub you fly through, not one airport in isolation.
- Deal discovery — category savings scoped to your journey.
- Saved collections — track what you want and see where it’s cheapest.
- Personalized picks — your brands, categories, and home airport shape what we surface.
- Nyro — a shopping concierge for your route, not a travel chatbot.
Founder story
Navayro started from a simple frustration: flying through world-class hubs and still not knowing whether to buy at departure, a connection, or arrival — or whether waiting would help. Existing apps treated each airport as an island; itineraries were left to airline apps and spreadsheets.
We set out to build what we wished existed: a calm, premium companion that answers where to shop on your route, grounded in real price signals and honest when data is thin. That vision became Navayro — and Nyro, the in-app assistant that keeps the focus on commerce, not travel ops.
Navayro is led by three co-founders — Anand Pradhan, Rajesh Singh, and Nitin Punnen.
