# Xeni

> Xeni is a New York-based travel technology company building a white-label platform that lets businesses launch their own branded booking engines on top of wholesale travel inventory - hotels, flights, cars, activities and cruises - through no-code, low-code and API options. Its settlement layer, XeniPay, runs on the Hedera network and uses smart contracts to tokenize and auto-distribute payments (fiat or crypto) to every party in a booking, aiming to fix an industry where a large share of reseller commissions historically go unpaid. Founded by Sachin Narode and Rachel Obenshain, Xeni positions itself as an operating system for travel commerce - often described as the 'Shopify of travel.'
