Thursday, 02 May, 2019 0

Indian OTA MakeMyTrip is is making a big move in the corporate travel space with a majority stake in online corporate travel management company Quest2Travel.

Quest2Travel offers corporate clients real time end-to-end travel solutions encompassing corporate policy compliant online bookings, invoice generation, expense management and settlement.

"This partnership is a perfect fit because it combines the best in corporate travel with the leader in non-corporate travel," Abhay Rangnekar, Q2T chief executive.

MakeMyTrip itself has a new majority owner after Chinese travel company Ctrip International became its largest stakeholder this week, after agreeing a share swap deal with original backer Naspers.

Ctrip now has a 49% shareholding in MakeMyTrip.

Commenting on the Q2T deal, MakeMyTrip CEO Deep Kalra said: "We have historically focused on providing travel solutions for retail customers, and with this investment we are making a decisive foray into providing travel solutions for corporate customers as well."
