These steps are designed to move EaseMyTrip beyond a flight-led model into an integrated travel, hospitality, and lifestyle ecosystem. While this requires short-term capex, it is aimed at creating sustainable profitability and shareholder value over the long term.

"From a homegrown startup to one of India's leading travel-tech platforms, we are proud to represent our nation on the global stage.
