About MakeMyTrip
MakeMyTrip.com, India's dominant online travel agency saw its genesis in the needs of US based Indians traveling to India. The Company was set up in 2000 to serve as a one stop shop to access, compare and purchase air tickets, hotels and holidays in real time.
Following the success of its US business, three years of sustained profitability, and extensive knowledge of the Indian travel market, MakeMyTrip set its sights on India. The company became India?s fist online travel agency in September 2005, and today commands 40% market share. MakeMyTrip will record gross bookings of USD 350 mln (INR 1400 Crores) and revenues of USD 40 mln (INR 160 Crores) in f.y.e March 09, growing at more than 100% from the previous year.
A key differentiator for MakeMyTrip is its technology and nation-wide distribution. The website is powered by a proprietary booking engine with unique faring logic. The site is supported by a large in-house technology and UI team.
To capture the large offline market, MakeMyTrip has recently forayed into retailing travel through branded travel stores across the country.
