Management Commentary
Mr. Ankush Nijhawan, Co-Founder and Joint MD, TBO Tek Limited, stated, “India’s outbound travel market is rapidly emerging as a global tourism powerhouse, fueling significant growth in the aviation sector. The digital transformation, enhanced air connectivity, and visa liberalization are revolutionizing travel, making it more accessible and convenient than ever. The travel landscape is being redefined by the rise of niche segments like study abroad programs, luxury travel, and cruise vacations—driving a surge in bookings from India. This momentum, especially from tier 2 and tier 3 cities, underscores the powerful potential of outbound travel. This quarter we delivered strong adjusted EBITDA of INR 85 Crores i.e. YoY 23% growth.”
Mr. Gaurav Bhatnagar, Co-Founder and Joint MD, TBO Tek Limited said, “We achieved a robust 24% growth in active agents across our international source markets. Our recent acquisition of Jumboline has started contributing meaningfully to both our top line and bottom line. We also invested in improving the self-serve features on the India platform for international air ticketing, which resulted in a 9% increase in transactions which required no manual intervention. Furthermore, we are very optimistic about the newly launched cloud-native platform, which aims to deliver operational efficiencies for our API customers by reducing latency significantly, thereby enhancing the user experience on the platform. We aim to innovate our platform with AI capabilities to improve our customer experience while reducing operational costs.”
