<p>Following the success of its 'onion deal' last year, eCommerce firm Groupon India has partnered Spice Safar to offer a new 'Rail Deal' under which consumers will get Rs 100 off on rail tickets.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Under the deal, which goes live on Thursday, Groupon India will offer 1,000 coupons everyday for Rs 9. Using the coupon, consumers can book rail tickets using Spice Safar app to get Rs 100 off on a transaction.<br /><br />“Last year, we had the onion deal under which we sold 23,000 kgs of onions. We wanted to bring a deal that would have the wow factor. Rail journey is something all of us have done at some point in time but there are never discounts on that,” Groupon India CEO Ankur Warikoo told PTI.<br /><br />With this deal, consumers will get that benefit as well, he added. The discount will be borne by the two firms as Railways does not offer any discounts. He, however, declined to divulge any details.<br /><br />“There are offers on air travel but not on railways, which is one of the most used mode of travel in the country. We wanted to give our users a unique offer on that,” he said.</p>
