Analysts say the company is well-positioned to capture a significant share as India’s travel and tourism industry grows.
With the growth in the tourism industry, they expect the online travel market share (OTA) to increase faster than captive players, improving the company’s profitability.
The Indian travel industry is expected to grow at a 9-11% CAGR during FY23-28 period to reach Rs 4.54 lakh crore in FY28, driven by the development of tourism infrastructure, rising income levels translating into higher discretionary spending on travel and tourism, and an increase in the frequency of travel for business and leisure purposes.
For the year ended March 2023, the company clocked revenue growth of 81% year-on-year to Rs 397 crore, while profit stood at Rs 7.6 crore compared with a loss of Rs 30.7 crore a year ago.
SBI Capital Markets, DAM Capital Advisors, and IIFL Securities acted as the book-running lead managers and Link Intime India was the registrar for the offer.
