“We are witnessing a golden era for Indian OTAs”

Do you see a revival in the travel industry? By when do you expect a complete revival?

We are actually witnessing the golden years for the Indian OTAs (online travel agencies) as the travel and aviation industry is witnessing an upward growth trajectory. With the surge in demand and revenge travel, the industry is reviving sooner than anticipated and is seeing a positive outlook once again. People are not shying away from travelling. That said, our profits itself jumped by 125 per cent year-on-year and 45.36 per cent month-on-month in Q1FY23 which shows the recovery is on the right track.

Please expand on the first quarter highlights?

Powerful, Peculiar Perquisites

MOST COMPANIES recognise that people are key to their success. Competition is all about the war for talent. Higher compensations can, in many cases, attract that brilliant leader or the tech genius, but a competitor may well offer even more. This race is financially draining and not really a great strategy.
