Deep Kalra, the MakeMyTrip Founder, is a go-getter. The proof lies in the fact that MakeMyTrip.com was launched in 2000 and the subsequent year, the world faced double whammy in the form of Internet meltdown and World Trade Center attack. The same year, i.e. in 2001, India witnessed slide in VC investments. But Kalra did not let these tough times impact his enthusiasm. Whether it came down to running his travel business without any investment in sight or cutting down workforce, the MakeMyTrip Group CEO relentlessly kept his eyes pinned to the possibilities and marched on.
Today, the Gurugram-based MakeMyTrip has become an eminent e-commerce business in India and abroad, providing a host of online services ranging from flight booking to accommodation to visa processing, etc. The NASDAQ-listed company (2010) also owns and runs redBus and GoIbibo after its merger with Ibibo Group in 2017.
