Advertising strategy:

It’s very important to establish the brand. For us, the focus is not just to provide cheap tickets.
Advertising helps in getting your message across to the target audience more effectively. And
with more and more players entering the segment, it is necessary to advertise to ensure you have
captured sufficient mind-share. Again, the product basket that we offer is growing and our
customers have to be updated accordingly.

Budgeting:
We still offer the lowest prices for most flights across sectors. But it’s not just low fares that
bring customers back to our site. The fact that we offer value added services is the driving force
that directs so many customers to our website.
Revenue earning:

The basic service offered by any OTA player remains the same across the industry, but it’s the
experience that creates the difference in the minds of the customers. Our customers come to us
because of the unparalleled experience that we provide.
Our edge is clearly our expertise in innovation. Any technological development can be
replicated, but being an industry leader, we have always managed to be the first to offer unique
services. Of course, often these services are then offered by other players in the industry.
Customer experience is another advantage and we achieve this with our robust customer
satisfaction measurement process and training. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details and
that is especially true in
our industry.
It’s the cumulative effect of those seemingly small innovative tweaks to enhance customer
experience that makes all the difference between a repeat customer and a
lost opportunity.

We run joint promotions with various financial and banking organizations on an ongoing basis to
create valued propositions for more of our customers.

Unless we make sure our suppliers’ business is profitable, we won’t be profitable.

Future prospects:

More growth with greater internet coverage in India.

Consolidation, dynamic packaging, offering more for less and creating a memorable experience
will be the focus areas going forward
