COMPANY PREPARATION GUIDEPreparing for a job at MakeMyTrip
Data and customer insight make travel easier at MakeMyTrip, and candidates should show they can broaden a business spanning flights, hotels, homestays and corporate travel.
What MakeMyTrip is known for
One of India's largest online travel companies, listed on NASDAQ, covering flights, hotels, holidays and more.
myBiz, its corporate travel offering, alongside visa services and international holiday products.
Growth plans that include alternative accommodation such as villas and homestays, and online travel presence in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
What tends to matter at MakeMyTrip
The capabilities that shape most roles here, and how to get ready for each.
Consumer obsession
Travel plans are emotional and time-sensitive, so small frictions in search, payment or support can lose a customer.
How to prepare: Prepare an example where you found and fixed a pain point in a customer journey, using evidence.
Experimentation and data
A data-driven culture means ideas on search, pricing and offers are expected to be tested and measured.
How to prepare: Be ready to explain an experiment you designed or read, what you measured and what you decided afterwards.
Building supply breadth
Villas and homestays require onboarding many small hosts with varied quality, unlike large hotel chains.
How to prepare: Think about how you would attract, verify and support small property owners, and how you would keep quality consistent.
Entering new markets
Building an online travel presence in Southeast Asia and the Middle East means different travellers, partners and payment habits.
How to prepare: Prepare a view on what you would learn first when entering a new region, and what you would adapt from India.
Loyalty and ecosystem thinking
The MMT Super Card and loyalty plans aim to bring customers back across many travel purchases.
How to prepare: Practise explaining how a loyalty programme creates value for customers and for the business, and how you would check it works.
