Yatra Online IPO Review:
According to Business Journalist Rupesh Kumar Singh, Yatra Online offers a comprehensive range of travel-related products and services to cater to the needs of both domestic and international travelers. The company provides customers with access to various tools and information for planning, researching, booking, and purchasing travel-related goods and services, both within India and abroad.
The Indian travel industry is expected to grow to ₹4,540 billion by FY28, with a 9–11% CAGR between FY23 and FY28. Factors contributing to this growth include the development of tourism infrastructure, rising income levels leading to increased discretionary spending on travel, and greater travel frequency for both business and leisure purposes.
Yatra Online, as a key player in the industry, is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this growth. Its longstanding relationships with B2B and B2C customers enable the company to target frequent and high-spending travelers, particularly urban consumers. With the online travel market share (OTA) expected to grow faster than captive players, Yatra Online’s profitability is likely to improve.
The company posted profits in FY23 and has shown strong revenue growth in the past, making it a positive prospect from a medium to long-term perspective.
