MakeMyTrip targets to grow the base of franchisees by 50% within this calendar year

The company started 2023 with 146 active franchisees and aims to grow by more than 50% to reach 220 by the end of the year

MakeMyTrip, India’s leading online travel company, announced its plan to expand its franchise business in the top 100+ cities of the country.

The focus on modernising the nation’s aviation market in Tier 2 and beyond cities will also mean an increased contribution from such cities to the overall business mix. We see this as an opportunity area and have initiated a multi-pronged strategy to penetrate deeper nationwide,” said Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder and Group CEO, MakeMyTrip.

“The trust and affection we enjoy from our customers is evident in the 70% growth in the number of holiday packages sold over the pre-pandemic period. Therefore, an action plan has been set in motion to boost demand from both channels further,” said Jasmeet Singh, Business Head, Holidays & Experiences, MakeMyTrip.

We are targeting like-minded entrepreneurs who share a passion for travel. Industry expertise is an advantage but not a must. Interestingly, more than 85% of the business partners who have joined us over the past twelve months are from a non-travel background.”
