Online travel booking platform Ixigo, which went public last month, has reported a 20% year-on-year (YoY) increase in its operating revenue to Rs 164.8 crore for the quarter ended March 2024. Its net profit in the period jumped 55% to Rs 7.3 crore.
For the fiscal year 2024, Ixigo’s net profit more than tripled to Rs 73 crore from Rs 23 crore in FY23. Revenue from operations grew by 31% on year in FY24 to Rs 655.8 crore.
“Our growth strategy relies on…our ability to monetise our large user base incrementally every year through innovations in our ancillary/value-added services and better cross-selling and upselling within our ecosystem,” said Aloke Bajpai, Ixigo’s cofounder and group CEO.

Bajpai also flagged the slowing growth in the flights booking segment over the last two quarters of FY24.
“Currently, the domestic flight market is capacity-constrained, operating at very high fare levels. The last couple of quarters have seen single-digit year-on-year growth in passenger capacity as well as take rate compression to levels seen only pre-Covid,” he said.
The company’s revenue growth in the fourth quarter came in at a relatively slower pace given the slowdown in air travel and reserved train ticketing segments.
