Chaotic inflationary scenario in spatially homogeneous Bianchi type V space–time following Linde (Phys. Lett. B, 129, 177 (1983). doi: 10.1016/0370-2693(83)90837-7 ) and the condition [Formula: see text] based on theory of super cooling during the cosmological phase transition proposed by Kirzhnits and Linde (Ann. Phys. 101, 195 (1976). doi: 10.1016/0003-4916(76)90279-7 ), is discussed. It has been found that the model represents anisotropic phase of the Universe in general but at late time, it isotropizes. The deceleration parameter q = −1 indicates that the model leads to de Sitter space–time. It is found that inflationary parameters, namely, slow roll parameters, and anisotropic parameters are in excellent agreement with the Planck Collaboration’s 2013 results (Astron. Astrophys. 571, A22 (2014). doi: 10.1051/0004-6361/201321569 ).
