Flamingo's popular international and domestic group travel packages, which are currently sold largely through 51 offices across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, will complement MakeMyTrip's established Holiday Packages business and help the platform penetrate deeper into markets across India.
Commenting on the acquisition, Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder and Group CEO, MakeMyTrip, said, "Flamingo aligns closely with the growth strategy of our Holiday Packages business. It is a strong, growing business that has developed a unique moat in the group travel domain. We plan to leverage the complementary customer base, products and distribution focus between the two brands to widen holiday package options for our customers."
Commenting on this, Sanjay Shah, Director and Co-Founder of Flamingo Transworld, said, "For over three decades, Flamingo has built something unique in Indian travel, genuine trust. From chef-led tours to regional language guides, the brand has grown by going deeper. By combining Flamingo's brand equity and operational depth with MakeMyTrip's digital platform and national customer reach, we aim to build a truly pan-India tour company that brings Flamingo's signature experience to millions of new customers."
MakeMyTrip has taken a calibrated approach to inorganic growth, steadily strengthening its presence across key travel segments. Recent strategic acquisitions, including Quest2Travel in corporate travel bookings, Simplotel in hotel technology, BookMyForex in travel forex, Savaari in intercity mobility and Happay in corporate spend management, have expanded its capabilities across leisure, corporate and ancillary travel. These moves have enhanced supply integration, cross-sell potential, and end-to-end control across the connected trip journey, reinforcing MakeMyTrip's position as a full-
stack travel services platform. We expect our proposed acquisition of Flamingo to further contribute to this growth.
