MMYT offers online booking for the Indian travel and tourism industry, with a focus on India and the U.S. Its products and services include air tickets, holiday packages, hotels, rail tickets, bus tickets, auto transportation, and travel insurance. It’s a leader in a growing market – by 2030, Indian travel spend is expected to hit $410 billion.
In fiscal 2024, MakeMyTrip reported its highest annual gross bookings revenue ever – $7.9 billion. Plus, the company’s operating profit was $124.2 million, which is a stark turnaround from 2020, when it lost money.
