Deep Kalra
Founder & CEO, MakeMyTrip.com There was
a time when Indian families would plan their
annual trip six months in advance, after
spending long, sweaty hours queuing up in
front of ticket booths. It sure wasnt easy.
Today, the rise of Internet credibility coupled
with falling rates of air travel has helped
OTAs catapult to glorious success. And with a
turnover of Rs 2,200 crore, MakeMyTrip.com
has been a pioneer in the OTA success story.
With over 50 percent market share, its the
single most recognized and trusted player in
the OTA industry
HISTORY
Conceived and founded in 2000 by Deep Kalra, MakeMyTrip.com began as a small
start up in Delhi focussing on the non-resident Indian (NRI) market specifically on
people seeking an economical ticket to visit home.
MakeMyTrip.com made its India debut in September 2005 with its Lowest Airfare
Guarantee.
MMT recorded sales of Rs. 1000 crore and break even in 2008.
A 50% growth was a stunning achievement for a company less than ten years old.
Today, it commands an impressive 4% share of the NRI travel business to India
pegged at US$ 1 billion (Rs. 4800 crore).
MakeMyTrip.com soon diversified its online travel offerings to include domestic
and international holiday packages and tours, as well as domestic and
international hotels.
It aimed to offer a range of best-value products and services along with cutting-
edge technology and dedicated round-the-clock customer support
INDIA OPERATIONS
A decision was taken to launch the India website in September 2005.
A time when low cost carriers (LCCs) had made air travel cheaper.
There was a need to provide a platform for buying and selling travel
products/services.
Indentified the gap between demand & supply.
Decided to offer a user friendly and conveniently online interactive to the
consumer.
Received an investment of US $8 million (Rs 352 million) from SB Asia
Infrastructure Fund.
Within a year of its launch MakeMyTrip has acquired over 200,000 delighted
customers and sells over 3000 flight tickets, 200 hotel room nights and over 50
holiday packages every day.
The site attracts over 1 Million unique visitors every month according to
WebSideStory, HBx Analytics, an independent traffic-monitoring agency

BUSINESS MODEL
There were key enabling components: supplier, relations,
technology process and people.
The earlier experience in the US indicated that strong
relationship with suppliers run the business model.
MMT had already developed proprietary technology which
would help it link all supplier sites to check the inventory and
compare prices.
The companys own products would generate adequate
revenue without depending on revenue generated from
selling advertisement space.
The other key component would be employees having domain
specific skills.
TECHONOLGY FRONT
MakeMyTrip.com is fully powered by Amadeus.
MMT had been operating its international bookings engine
on Amadeuss platform.
MMT decided to move its domestic airline booking engine
onto Amadeus platform as well.
The website uses Amadeus web services 2.0 a second
generation, state of the art global technology platform that
provides full access to Amadeus content.
Amadeus Master Pricer, a cutting edge low fare search tool,
helps customers to quickly and easily find options that suit
their travel needs and budget.
Amadeus also provides a dedicated 24x7 service team in
India which is backed up regionally by an Asia Pacific
support structure.
SAIF Partners and MakeMyTrip Ltd have invested $18.5
million in iXiGO.com, a Delhi-based travel search engine.

TECHONOLGY FRONT
MMT has launched Apnaagent.com, a new B2B platform dedicated to
strengthening relationships with existing partners.
The company achieved gross bookings of US$ 742 million in the financial year
ending March 2011, making it a dominant player in India's OTA space.
OneAssist Consumer Solution has partnered with MakeMyTripto offer its
assistance and protection products to MakeMyTrip customers.

per day.
