Agoda Celebrates Two Decades of Bridging the World Through Travel with Birthday Discounts

SINGAPORE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda is celebrating its 20^th birthday this week, marking two decades of helping travelers see the world for less.

To mark the occasion, Agoda is running a sales campaign with global discounts of up to 70% on May 21^st.

Founded in 2005 with its headquarters in Singapore, Agoda has grown into a global travel marketplace and a prominent tech employer in APAC. Over the years, Agoda has expanded its offerings from hotels in Southeast Asia to a global digital platform with over 5 million hotels and holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 360,000 activities and experiences.

Over the last twenty years, Agoda developed a search experience that helps travelers find and book their dream trip on Agoda with ease and at the best available rates. To create this experience:

• Agoda records over 2 billion user interactions daily. These can be anything from a click or a scroll to selecting a filter option to find the perfect stay.
• Agoda handles 1 trillion price checks per day to find the best possible deals in accommodation, flights, and activities for its customers.
• Agoda runs over a thousand experiments daily to improve the user experience.
• The Agoda platform processes 12 petabytes (PB) of data each month – that's 12,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of storage per year.
• The Agoda mobile app has been downloaded more than 87 million times – making it the most downloaded OTA app in APAC outside of China according to Data.AI.

Agoda CEO Omri Morgenshtern shared: "As we celebrate Agoda's 20^th Birthday, we can proudly say that Agoda has truly become one of Asia Pacific's preferred travel marketplaces. Agoda's success comes from building a true tech company at scale. A piece of Silicon Valley in APAC. It's a story of relentless focus on pricing and a deep understanding of Asian cultures."

Agoda's focus on innovation will continue to play a pivotal role in the company's future success, believes Morgenshtern. "There is growing demand among customers for more personalized experiences when booking travel. Understanding which properties and flights are perfect for which travelers is what we do well at Agoda, and innovative technologies like gen AI allow us to evolve our travel booking experience even further. We're in great shape to continue bridging the world through travel for the next 20 years."

Building on its commitment to localization, Agoda's deep ties to the markets it serves extend beyond technology and travel. Through initiatives like the Eco Deals campaign, which has raised over USD 1.3 million for the World Wide Fund for Nature, technology workshops for students in Thailand to develop workplace skills, and over 17,000 volunteer hours contributed by Agodans to charitable causes globally, the company continues to give back, particularly in the APAC region, while fostering meaningful connections worldwide.

The Birthday sale, with discounts of up to 70% on 21 May can be found on Agoda.com and in the Agoda mobile app.

Global Broadband Customer Experience Leader listed No. 58 in Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® ranking reinforcing direct link between culture health, business performance

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Plume Design, Inc. ("Plume"), the global technology leader trusted by more than 450 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across 58 countries, today announced it has been named to the Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list by Most Loved Workplace® and the Best Practice Institute at No. 58, published today in The Economist. The recognition follows Plume's Most Loved Workplace® Certification earned in April 2026 and elevates the company into an elite group of organizations worldwide whose employees demonstrate the deepest levels of emotional connection, shared values and positive sentiment toward where they work.

"We've made building a great culture and a rewarding work environment one of our top objectives from day one because you cannot deliver world-class experiences for 450 ISP customers if the people behind the products do not feel respected, heard and empowered," said Dan Herscovici, President and CEO of Plume. "Being placed in the Top 100 list tells us the work is taking root. This is a milestone, not a finish line. We are committed to earning our team members' and our customers' trust every single day."

Compiled using the proprietary Love of Workplace Index® (LOWI) framework, The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list is assessed across the five "SPARK" dimensions: Systemic Collaboration, Positive Future, Alignment of Values, Respect and Killer Outcomes.

When Dan Herscovici assumed the role of President and CEO in April 2025, culture was immediately identified as one of the company's first strategic priorities. Over the past fourteen months, Plume has undertaken a company-wide culture initiative anchored in building trust, strengthening accountability and ensuring every team member feels they belong and have the tools to do their best work. The initiative was not a headquarters exercise as it spanned all of Plume's global offices with the same level of investment and commitment at every location. The LOWI assessment captured positive sentiment across the entire worldwide team.

Throughout that same fourteen month timeline, Plume has expanded its ISP partnerships from approximately 400 to more than 450 across 58 countries; acquired Sweepr, a leading AI care orchestration platform; launched the industry's first open Agentic AI platform for ISPs built on telemetry from over 500 million connected devices; committed to open standards by joining organizations such as the RDK Community, prpl Foundation and Connectivity Standards Alliance; and deepened partnerships by deploying advanced WiFi 7 technology with marquee ISPs including J:COM in Japan and FPT Telecom in Vietnam. For Plume's leadership, the parallel trajectories of culture and business performance are inseparable, not coincidental.

"Our global transformation required a sustained, visible commitment from every level of leadership," said Lorie Boyd, Chief People Officer at Plume. "Earning a place on the Top 100 list validates what we hear from our people every day. They feel the change. They see accountability in action, they trust the direction we are heading and they are proud of the work they do. At Plume, we treat culture as a business imperative in  the same way we treat product innovation or customer delivery. And we hold ourselves to that standard in Ljubljana and Hyderabad and Tokyo with the same rigor as our headquarters in Palo Alto."

Employee-sourced insights were central to the SPARK assessment, which evaluated Plume across dimensions that include systemic collaboration, alignment of values and respect — areas that directly reflect the company's emphasis on trust, inclusion and psychological safety.

"What sets the Global Most Loved Workplaces apart is not a score on a survey — it is the depth of emotional connection employees feel to their work, their colleagues and the future they are building together," said Louis Carter, CEO and Founder of Best Practice Institute and Most Loved Workplace®. "Plume demonstrates exactly what the SPARK model reveals in the highest-performing organizations: a positive vision of the future that people believe in and leaders who create the conditions for people to love where they work."
