Indian online travel agency Yatra has launched a
self-booking platform for small and midsize enterprises. It offers flight and
hotel options based on companies' travel policies, negotiated corporate rates
and terms, trip approval, spend reports and Yatra's expense management system.
Yatra already offers a customizable booking and expense platform
for its 650 large-company clients. "The SME platform was rolled out for
smaller companies where a fully customized platform doesn't make economic sense
for them," investor relations head Manish Hemrajani said.
In October, the International Air Transport Association predicted
India will become the third-largest aviation market in 2025. That aligns with
the forecast the Global Business Travel Association issued in February that
India will become the sixth-largest business travel market next year.
