India's train PNR predictor ConfirmTkt.com has launched a new product 'ConfirmTkt Alternates' to help the waitlisted train passengers to get confirmed tickets by unlocking all the hidden and other best available travel options.

Available on Android as well as Apple iOS, the app takes into consideration the delay in the train arrivals and departures while suggesting alternates.

"Sometimes no quota can get you confirmed tickets for a train journey. So we have built algorithms. We call it as ConfirmTkt Alternates. We all use these techniques to get to our destination, but we end up wasting a lot of time. Our new feature solves that problem," said Co-founder and COO of ConfirmTkt, Sripad Vaidya.

"ConfirmTkt Alternates is a simple solution for the complex problem which eliminates the need of agents/touts who charge hefty fees from passengers to book confirmed tickets. Whereas, the ConfirmTkt App does it Free of cost," Sripad added.

"ConfirmTkt re-defines travel planning with its advanced algorithms which analyze tons of data and display highly beneficial information at your fingertips", said Dinesh Kumar Kotha, Co-founder and CEO of ConfirmTkt.

Finding best and comfortable option to travel is never easy but ConfirmTkt does it with ease. Using advanced machine learning algorithms, ConfirmTkt figures out personalized travel options for every user.

"ConfirmTkt is first of its kind product which helps users to effortlessly discover confirmed tickets for their journey. It has a potential to impact millions of travelers and change the way they travel," said Pranav Chimulkar, VP of Business and Growth at ConfirmTkt.

"In a country where Railway is the most used travelling source, not one and everyone can get confirmed ticket. So as per our stats 41 percent of people remain in waitlist. Out of which 16.4 percent eventually end up being on that waiting list only," Pranav added.
