India to be among top 3 markets for Skyscanner: CEO
Skyscanner, with revenues and traveller searches for the company growing by around 35-40% in the country this year, said CEO John Mangelaars in an interview with ET.
Skyscanner is a global travel app that helps travellers find the right deals across segments such as flights, hotels and car hire options. The company claims it searches more than 80 billion prices everyday, so travellers can be sure they've seen the best possible options, all in one place.
“Visitors are up 40% in India and business is also up close to 40%. India is among the top ten markets in terms of revenue. I think it will be among our top three markets over the next few years. And in three years, Skyscanner will be among the top five companies in terms of market share in India,” he said.
“India will not just grow domestically, but it is also becoming critical because a greater number of Indians are getting ready to travel overseas. We have already been serving India from Singapore and London, but we are establishing a formal presence in India now through hiring a team and opening an office here,” he added.
Skyscanner has appointed Neel Ghose as the country manager and GM for India and has hired people in divisions such as marketing, airline and OTA partnerships.
