MakeMyTrip works on app upgrades, wider positioning in all types of travel

Gurugram-based MakeMyTrip is planning a host of changes and features to its existing app, includ­ing a landing page redesign and a section on new vaca­tion destinations.

From being a primarily flight and hotel booking app, MakeMyTrip is rethinking its positioning in all types of travel — whether by road, train or air. It is also going to expa­nd focus on the type of properties it lists on the platform.

In its alternative accommodation space, said Rajesh Magow, co-founder and group chief executive, MakeMyTrip, is looking at villas, service apartments and hostels, especially those based in pilgrimage sites, such as Varanasi. As of now, it has 17,000 such properties.
