MakeMyTrip has elevated Jasmeet Singh as Chief Business Officer for Holidays and Experiences, as the travel platform sharpens its focus on expanding high-growth categories such as cruises and tours. The move aligns with the company’s broader strategy of strengthening its connected travel ecosystem through acquisitions and regional expansion.
MakeMyTrip has elevated Jasmeet Singh to the role of Chief Business Officer for Holidays and Experiences, marking a new phase in the company’s efforts to strengthen and diversify its non-air travel business segments.
According to an update on Singh’s LinkedIn profile, he assumed the new position in April and will now oversee a broad portfolio that includes Holidays, Visas, Tours and Attractions, Cruises, and Flamingo Transworld.
Singh previously served as Chief Commercial Officer for Holidays, Visas, Experiences and Cruises for nearly two years, from April 2024 to April 2026. His latest elevation comes after more than 26 years with the company, reflecting his long-standing role in shaping several of MakeMyTrip’s travel verticals.
Commenting on the transition, Singh said Holidays and Visas have matured into stable and profitable businesses with strong customer trust and consistent operational performance. He noted that the company is now focusing on emerging segments such as Tours and Attractions and Cruises as key growth drivers.
He added that his priorities in the new role would include scaling the ecosystem, broadening destination offerings, improving omni-channel operations, and enhancing customer experience across travel products and services.
The appointment comes at a time when MakeMyTrip is accelerating investments in its broader connected travel ecosystem. In March 2026, the company announced plans to acquire a majority stake in Flamingo Transworld to deepen its presence in the holiday packages market and expand into regional travel segments.
Flamingo Transworld has built a strong footprint in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, particularly in group travel services. MakeMyTrip said the acquisition would complement its existing holiday business while offering customers a wider range of travel experiences.
The Flamingo deal is part of a larger acquisition strategy pursued by MakeMyTrip in recent years. The company has also acquired or invested in firms such as QuestToTravel in corporate travel bookings, Simplotel in hotel technology, BookMyForex in travel forex, Savaari in mobility services and Happay in corporate expense management.
Industry observers see Singh’s elevation as part of MakeMyTrip’s broader attempt to build stronger category-led travel experiences beyond flight bookings, particularly as Indian travellers increasingly seek curated holidays, experiential tourism and integrated travel services.
