 How does it makes money?

They manage to get bargain deals with hotels because of the reach they have established
with travellers. This means that they can offer lower rates to customers while still taking a
commission for all booking made through their website.
1. Hotel owners offer lower rates to travel aggregators because they get wider exposure
by listing on travel aggregators websites which manages to get them customers that
they would not have gotten otherwise .
2. Hotel owners get better occupancy , customer get better rates and the aggregators
makes some commission by providing a platform for customers and owner hotels to
interact.
3. There are considerable investments from various entities for promotion.
4. Money can be earned through mode of payment such as paytm,paypal,visa and other.
5. Another mode to make money is cost per click advertising as we can see pop-ups on
their page.
 Transaction Processing System

A transaction is an elementary activity conducted during business operations. Transaction

processing systems (TPS) process the company's business transactions and thus support the
operations of an enterprise. A TPS records a non-inquiry transaction itself, as well as all of its
effects, in the database and produces documents relating to the transactions.

The principal transaction processing subsystems in a MakeMyTrip are:

 Types of Booking

TPS helps analyse different types of bookings which in turn uncovers the data trends
to identify improvement areas and execute marketing plans to improve sales.

Middle managers will have a detailed statistics of the various bookings done through
all the payment modes which will help them decide if there is any problem or need
for improvement in the various portals.

 Billing

TPS helps in collating customer level data and producing relevant insights which can
be translated to actionable marketing plans.

Middle managers can focus on the purchasing trends of regular customers and
accomplish customer loyalty with customised offers and gift cards.

Middle managers can speed up the cancellation process and initiate refunds
according to the customer’s convenience through TPS.

 Payroll

TPS helps gather employee information for a time period , managing benefits &
deductions and distributing employee pay for that time period.

Middle managers can work out the pay calculations and deductions quicker and
generate accurate payslips. They can also calculate bonuses, allowances etc with
minimum effort.
 Decisions Making
OWNER

Deep Kalra
Chairman and CEO

 Structure: Different legal structures include sole proprietorship, general partnership

and limited liability corporations. Each of these business structures has their own
implications in terms of liability, profit and cost-sharing as well as for purposes of
income taxation. Sometimes, established businesses may want to change the legal
structure of the business, too. Thus both established and start-up businesses have to
make decisions about legal structure.
 Strategic Decisions : Strategic decisions are long-term decisions that will place the
business at a profitable position. These include decisions about developing new
products or getting into strategic alliances such as joint ventures. Strategic decisions
are decisions that are typically laden with a lot of risk. For example, a business owner
who makes the decision to get into a joint venture alliance faces the risk of the
alliance failing to meet his objectives. The business may thus have to shut down or
start again from scratch.
 Operational Decisions: Business owners have to make decisions on how they will run
the business. Operational decisions are not just decisions about administrative tasks.
They include choosing the right suppliers and distribution channels for products.
Operational decisions also include decisions on how to market the product and to
bring it closer to the target customer. Operational decisions such as these play a
significant role in determining a business' sales revenues and also operational costs,
which need to be sustainable.
 Financial Decisions: Business owners constantly face decisions about business
finances. The decisions about how to manage cash flow and acquire assets are equally
important. So important are decisions on financials that many business owners rely on
professionals such as accountants for expert insight.

1.Disruptive innovation vs. leveraging a company’s core strengths: When confronted with
disruptive technologies, many companies fail to align digital strategies with their core
strategies. By definition, disruptive innovation challenges a company’s core capabilities.
CEOs must possess the technological fluency and open-mindedness to understand fully the
disruptions they face, and decide which legacy capabilities are core to the future and which
aren’t — all at the speed of innovation.

2. Pursuing cost leadership vs. differentiating for value: Manage costs or add value? This is a
constant struggle for leaders, especially in the rapidly evolving retail industry. Pure cost-
based strategies are now rarely viable because the forces of automated production, mass
customization, global supply chains, direct channels, networked devices, etc., have
permanently established a new base level for both manufacturing and total cost of ownership.
However, a highly differentiated offering is no longer a guarantee of long-term value
creation. Diminishing cycle times, rapidly changing intellectual property and fast R&D allow
your competitors to increase market share on any breakthrough, so even the most valuable
innovations can see their price premium drop rapidly.
You must constantly balance these cost/value pressures, quickly re-evaluating strategic
priorities, including where to participate in the industry value chain in order to remain
competitive and profitable.

3. Capturing international market share vs. managing risk: The global economy and the
growth of e-commerce have presented a tremendous opportunity for retailers willing to look
beyond their domestic borders for future growth. But that opportunity doesn’t come without
risk. CEOs must be agile and adaptive, operating from a mind-set of continual anticipation
and appraisal in order to make timely investment decisions and oversee speedy execution.

4. Responding rapidly to opportunity vs. ensuring high quality: The mandate to identify,
assess and seize opportunities rapidly is indisputable, but it cannot be achieved at the expense
of quality and your brand’s reputation. It’s critical to balance time-to-market with insistence
on excellence — the loyalty of your customers (both new and existing) depends on it.

3. Marketing

A key customer-facing business process is convincing members of the target market to buy
the product or service and completing delivery. Sales and marketing are customer-facing and
have to deliver what the customer wants. With data processing techniques, it is possible to
track different needs for different customers and satisfy them. At the same time, these
processes have to be efficient and cost-effective. Even primarily customer-facing processes
have such business-facing aspects.
MakeMyTrip repositioned itself from ‘Memories Unlimited’ to ‘Dil toh Roaming hai’. The
new tagline was a response to changing consumer culture in India: travel was no longer
restricted to an annual event for most Indians.

‘Dil toh Roaming hai’ does reflect the new age consumers’ travel ambitions; it’s not only
about summer vacations or honeymoon destinations anymore, it’s now about weekend
getaways, solo journeys, and perennial wanderlust. The brand had also rolled out a refreshed
logo with the ‘My’ highlighted, positioning MakeMyTrip as your ally in your travel
ambitions.
