Over the past 19 years, MakeMyTrip has become synonymous with online travel bookings. As the <keyword id="337738" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="20" keywordseo="travel-technology">travel technology</keyword> sector continues to grow, MMT too is evolving using Artificial Intelligence and vernacular to target the next 200 million Internet users in India. Selling experiences now MMT is no more about tickets and hotel bookings alone. It wants to be an end-to-end platform, Deep Kalra, Founder Chairman, MMT, told Business Insider at a TiE Delhi NCR event. They are also selling experiences. Kalra explains that if they know you are in Goa, they can offer you experiences like yacht cruise, ziplining etc., as per your preferences. “We can sell you end to end – from research, to buying and in trip experiences. That’s how travel tech has changed,” he said. Talk to MMT and <keyword id="1705241" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="book-tickets">book tickets</keyword> Having been the frontrunner in travel tech, MMT is obviously moving on to the next big thing – Artificial Intelligence. “With AI, we have the power to learn from every experience so as to give our customers a much more nuanced and better product because the software has been learning for years. We can then proactively recommend you more things based on your likes,” said Kalra. MMT already has two chatbots, which are currently used for post-sales. But soon, you can use them to book tickets as well. “We are more than experimenting. Soon, you can chat and buy tickets. You can also talk to us in vernacular and book tickets,” said Kalra. How the sector has evolved For MMT founder Deep Kalra, it’s been a long journey which also includes a blockbuster listing in the US markets. “In the early days, no one was buying online. It was all search online and buy offline. That started to change in 2005, people started to buy rail tickets first,” said Kalra. The MMT founder has seen the world evolve from web to mobile web and then, an app. Kalra said that ticketing goes online very fast because it’s unidimensional, determined mainly by price and timing. The challenge, Kalra said, set in with selling hotel spaces and accommodation online. “It has now moved online with 20% of hotel bookings in the country being booked online,” he said.

The reason why Alibaba is attracted to India is that even though there is a global slowdown, the number of mobile phone and internet users in India is continuously growing. 
 
The entry of Reliance Jio in the telecom sector is being seen as a good sign by Alibaba, since the low data tariffs offered by Jio would only mean a rise in the number of internet users.

New Delhi, Mar 23 () The proposal to close railway agents for ticket booking will affect employment generated by over 3 lakh agents network and also the revenue of IRCTC, according to Internet and mobile association IAMAI. The Railways Ministry is considering barring private vendors and agents from booking train tickets for passengers after noting they are no longer needed when tickets can be booked by anyone on a mobile. "We would like to highlight that there are more than 100 service providers offering these services through 3,00,000 agent networks. The closure of their services will not only impact the investments done and employment generated by these agents but will also affect the revenue of IRCTC, as there are many people in India who need assistance for booking the tickets," IAMAI President Subho Ray said in a letter to Goyal. He said the service providers provide assistance in booking the tickets to many who need assistance and hence they don't have to travel to IRCTC counters to book the tickets.IAMAI urged the minister to postpone the discussion on abolition of the service provider system of IRCTC considering the current sitiuation around coronavirus which requires social distancing.

The holiday season just round the corner and Indians this year are packing their bags to fly off to a host of exotic travel destinations.
