ZetSIM: Your All-in-One App for Seamless International Travel
ZetSIM Integrates Travel eSIM and Airport Concierge Services for Indian Travelers. Travelers can now secure Meet & Greet services at 7 Indian airports and lounge access at 31, alongside eSIM data plans starting at US$2.20. BENGALURU, INDIA – October 21, 2026 – For most Indians traveling internationally, the initial hour upon arrival is defined by three immediate needs: navigating to a taxi, finding the hotel, and messaging family via WhatsApp to confirm a safe landing. ZetSIM, the travel eSIM brand from Zetexa Global, now allows travelers to manage these requirements before departure, offering a single app to purchase mobile data for 180+ countries while booking airport Meet & Greet, lounge access, and Fast Track services.
Meet & Greet is available at seven Indian airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, with lounge access provided at 31. This development arrives as Indian outbound travel continues to expand. According to the Ministry of Tourism's Annual Tourism Snapshot 2025, Indian nationals recorded over 3.28 crore departures in 2025, a 6.3% increase from the previous year. The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, the USA and Singapore remained the most visited destinations.
"Getting online after landing is only half the problem. The other half is the airport: long queues, tight connections, or someone flying abroad for the first time. We built ZetSIM so travellers can arrange both their mobile data and their airport help from home, before the trip begins," said Srujan Yeleti, Founder & COO, Zetexa Global. The Indian number stays on. On a dual-SIM device, the Indian SIM remains active for calls, SMS and bank OTPs, ensuring that verification codes for hotel payments or banking still arrive, while ZetSIM handles data connectivity. WhatsApp calls function seamlessly over that data connection. Reusable eSIM. The eSIM itself does not expire; only the data plan does. Top-ups are applied to the existing eSIM without requiring a new QR code, allowing it to be reused for future trips. Select plans also include voice and SMS capabilities. Hotspot sharing. Included with every plan, this feature allows users to connect a second phone, tablet or laptop. For phones without eSIM. A physical SIM option is available. Indian travelers generally choose between three primary connectivity solutions. An international roaming pack purchased from an Indian operator keeps the same SIM in the phone, ensuring calls and bank OTPs continue to arrive. This method only functions upon landing if activated prior to departure, and its validity, multi-country coverage and hotspot capabilities are dictated by the specific pack. A new pack is required for every trip. A local SIM is purchased at the destination airport or a local store and functions only once inserted. Unless the phone supports dual SIMs, the Indian SIM must be removed. This option is limited to one country, with validity and hotspot rules set by the local operator, and requires a new SIM for each country visited. A ZetSIM travel eSIM is purchased from India via the ZetSIM app or website, installed at home and connects upon landing. The Indian SIM remains active alongside it for calls and OTPs. Plans can cover a single country, a region or the globe across 180+ countries, and hotspot sharing is included on every plan. Validity begins only when the phone connects abroad. No physical SIM card is required, though a physical SIM option is available for devices without eSIM support. On subsequent trips, the same eSIM is reused with a new plan. According to the ZetSIM website, plans start at US$3.00 for Singapore, US$3.30 for Thailand, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Greece, and US$4.30 for the UAE. Plans that are purchased but never activated are eligible for a full refund. Airport Meet & Greet. Meet & Greet is available at 110 airports across 38 countries, including seven in India. Delhi features 25 services across three terminals, followed by Mumbai with 15, Hyderabad with 13 and Bengaluru with 12. For a parent traveling alone to visit family in Canada or the US, the airport experience is often more challenging than the flight itself. A host meets the traveler by name at the gate, aircraft steps or terminal entrance, assisting with check-in, security and passport control. Porter service and aircraft transfers are included with many packages. Arrival, departure and transit packages are available, and most require one to three days' notice. Airport lounge access. Lounge access is available at 500+ airports in 116 countries, including 31 in India. No airline status or membership card is required. Lounges provide quiet seating, food and drinks, Wi-Fi and charging stations. Entry is granted via an emailed QR code, bookings can be made up to 60 days in advance, and cancellation is free until 24 hours before entry. Fast Track. Long security queues at busy hubs like Dubai can turn the return flight to India into a race to the gate, particularly during peak hours or when traveling with family. Fast Track mitigates this by providing a reserved priority security lane, allowing travelers to bypass the standard queue. ZetSIM states this can save up to 40 minutes. It is available at 48 airports, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia, with most others located in Europe. It covers lane access only, without a host, and is primarily sold for departures. Every paid eSIM and airport service order earns ZetCoins, ZetSIM's rewards points, which function as an instant discount at the next checkout. ZetSIM has also announced ZetPass, a US$3 pass valid for 30 days, providing 50% off eSIM purchases and 10% off airport services. ZetPass is listed as launching soon. ZetSIM provides 24/7 human support via WhatsApp and email. The app has accumulated 500,000+ downloads and maintains a 4.7 out of 5 rating from over 16,000 reviews. ZetSIM operates as a registered mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in the US, Canada and the UK. ZetSIM is a travel eSIM and airport services platform that has served more than 1 million travellers worldwide. It is a brand of Zetexa Global, founded in 2022 by Amit Agarwal, Founder & CEO, and Srujan Yeleti, Founder & COO, of Zetexa Global. The company is headquartered in Bengaluru and was incubated at T-Hub, Hyderabad. Website: www.zetsim.com Is it legal to buy an international eSIM in India? Yes, provided it is purchased from a company that holds a No Objection Certificate from the Department of Telecommunications. Zetexa Global, the company behind ZetSIM, holds this NOC. Indian buyers complete a brief KYC process with their passport, flight ticket and visa before the eSIM is issued. Will I still get bank OTPs on my Indian number while using ZetSIM abroad? Yes, on a dual-SIM phone. The Indian SIM remains active for calls, SMS and OTPs, while ZetSIM is utilized for mobile data. Verify your home operator's roaming settings before traveling to ensure you are not charged for data on the Indian SIM. Which phones support the ZetSIM eSIM? Most iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later models support eSIM. To verify, dial *#06#: if a 32-digit EID number appears, the phone supports eSIM. Phones purchased from a carrier must be unlocked, and a physical SIM is available for phones without eSIM support.
