Leading OTA MakeMyTrip aims to tap into the growing corporate travel sector in India with the launch of a new business travel programme.
It has unveiled MyBusiness, a self-booking tool integrated within the main MakeMyTrip app with a corporate wallet which it says reduces potential corporate card abuse and optimises expense reporting.
It is supported by a dedicated corporate helpdesk available 24 hours a day.
"MakeMyTrip has always been an enabler of change in the way Indians travel/ Our focus and investment in MyBusiness underlines our sense of purpose in changing the way corporate India moves. We have an aggressive plan in place to tap into this fast-growing business travel market by moving complex offline processes to a convenient and efficient online booking experience ," said Rajesh Magow, Co-founder and CEO.
For road warriors it offers complimentary in-flight meals, seat selection and selected free hotel upgrades.
Companies benefit from discounted corporate rates and GST tax credit benefits.
"For most organisations, business travel spending is the second largest expense, and the entire process allows certain amount of discrepancies and reimbursement issues later on. SME corporates are contributing to 70% of the flourishing Indian corporate travel business and with MyBusiness, we are empowering the entire ecosystem," said Ranjeet Oak, chief business officer at MakeMyTrip.
