Kyazoonga looks at global expansion, starts US operations

HYDERABAD: Online ticketing platform Kyazoonga has started ticketing for events in the US from its new office space in Los Altos in Silicon Valley. This forms a part of the global expansion plans for the platform which is evaluating South East Asia and other geographies.

"We recently signed on for two editions of Caribbean Premier League in the West Indies and started ticketing for few events in California and Washington DC. We have the platform ready and taking it to new markets is easy," said Neetu Bhatia, co-founder of Kyazoonga, adding that the US market is close to $25 billion for ticketing, with players such as Ticketmaster who have a strong presence.

The company is also looking to triple its headcount of 50 over the next 12 to 18 months. The US office will also house KZ labs for research on new product lines and enhancing the technology for the platform.

Founded in 2007, Kyazoonga has partnered the ticketing for India Concert Tour of Bryan Adams and Guns N'Roses as well as Jaipur Literature Festival. Kyazoonga is the only Asian company to have qualified as a finalist for ticketing the Rio 2016 Olympics.
