Company

Company overview

MakeMyTrip Limited helps leisure and business travelers book trips, with India at the center of its business. MakeMyTrip and Goibibo offer flights, accommodation and holiday packages; redBus handles bus tickets. Customers book mainly through apps and websites, while travel agents, holiday experts and franchisee-owned stores also help arrange trips.

Hotels and packages provide most of its revenue, followed by air ticketing. Airlines, hotels and other suppliers pay commissions and booking incentives, and travelers pay convenience fees. MakeMyTrip also sells holiday packages combining services sourced from suppliers. For flights, systems that distribute airline fares and availability pay it fees or incentives linked to booking volume.

The business depends on Indian travel demand and suppliers continuing to offer inventory on commercially workable terms. Its domestic flight business relies on a concentrated group of airlines, while outside India it obtains most hotel inventory through other travel platforms and aggregators. Suppliers can change commissions or withdraw inventory. Competition-authority directions also restrict hotel agreements and platform listing practices and require disclosures about unavailable properties; the company has complied while its appeal remains pending.

  • Yatra Online, Inc. competes with MakeMyTrip for Indian leisure and corporate travelers buying flights, hotels, holiday packages and ground transport. Watch Yatra’s corporate travel business for competition facing MakeMyTrip’s services for enterprises and small and midsize businesses.

  • Trip.com Group and MakeMyTrip both serve travelers booking flights and accommodation, but Trip.com also holds a substantial MakeMyTrip stake with board nomination and veto rights. Watch changes in that stake and those rights: Trip.com can influence MakeMyTrip’s major decisions, and its interests may differ from other shareholders’ interests.

  • Booking Holdings competes with MakeMyTrip for online accommodation bookings from travelers visiting India and traveling abroad. Watch Booking.com’s accommodation business, which accounts for most of the revenue Booking earns by collecting travelers’ payments and almost all of its revenue from arranging reservations for travel providers.

  • Expedia Group competes with MakeMyTrip for leisure travelers booking hotels, flights and packages online, including international trips. Watch Expedia’s hotel and package offerings: it collects travelers’ payments on some bookings and earns fees from suppliers or travelers when passing other reservations to travel providers.
