MakeMyTrip has announced the launch of ‘MyBusiness’ to tap the growing corporate travel segment in India. MyBusiness will provide a convenient, transparent and efficient self-booking tool that employees can use from the same MakeMyTrip app for their business travel. Giving the power of choice in the hands of the traveller, the tool will help keep control in the hands of the company while providing corporate travel benefits and savings for all.
MyBusiness will make businesses of any size avail good corporate travel deals and will also bring down friction in the expense process. By introducing the new corporate wallet on MyBusiness, the companies will be able to reduce payment inefficiencies, liabilities and potential corporate card abuse – in turn providing employees and companies greater flexibility. This would be supported via dedicated corporate help-desks which will be operational 24×7.
Rajesh Magow, co-founder and CEO-India, MakeMyTrip said, “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 for employees and employers alike.”
Ranjeet Oak, chief business officer, MakeMyTrip said, “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 per cent of the flourishing Indian corporate travel business and with MyBusiness, we are empowering the entire ecosystem, by establishing the ‘choice’ with the traveller, ‘control’ with the company and ‘benefits and savings’ for all.”
With growing need of organisations to enable business travel, MyBusiness will be helpful for SMEs that cannot afford to set up a travel desk in office. The self-booking online tool makes it easy to move complex offline processes – approval metrices, travel policies, payment options – online; making travel booking efficient and experience seamless. In addition to the existing benefits, companies stand to claim GST Credit and save upto 18 per cent of total travel transaction in a clear and transparent manner, making this offering a win-win for all.
