Why attend

In the post COVID-19 pandemic world, travel has been one of the top sectors to benefit from rising consumer demand. In India itself, an increase in discretionary spending and the want for an aspirational lifestyle has given rise to people spending more on travel. The number of Indians travelling to foreign destinations have increased, but domestic tourism has also been on the rise. The latter is primarily on the backs of better intercity connectivity, affordable and convenient modes of travel and better infrastructure.

Amidst all this, one company has directly benefited from the growing travel demand of Indians and that is ixigo. While other online travel aggregators focused on tier-1 India, ixigo has built its customer base starting with tier-2 and tier-3 customers. ixigo has built a profitable travel business that has managed to grow despite global headwinds and even raised $225 million from Dutch technology investor Prosus last year.Join us as we speak to Aloke Bajpai, the co-CEO of ixigo, about the next big opportunity in travel. We will cover the shift in India’s tourism landscape, including what and who is enabling it. We will also discuss who are or can be the beneficiaries of the increase in travel demand and how ixigo is positioning itself.This is a private event, specially curated by us to add value to the lives of our subscribers. The discussion will be led by Aloke Bajpai along with the senior leadership at The Morning Context.
