Rajesh Magow, co-founder and group CEO of MakeMyTrip, spoke at the BITB 2026 – Paryatan se Parivartan event in July 2026 about the company's long-term strategy. He stated that the company's vision has always been to be a service provider for all of a traveler's needs, both domestically and internationally. Magow attributed the company's scaling to a "brick by brick" approach, consistent execution, and the practice of bringing in new talent and sharing equity with employees, which he described as resolving "what's in it for them." At a June 2026 panel on tourism success stories, Magow discussed challenges the industry has faced, including the slow adoption of technology. He said that the "biggest" disappointment was that people were not adapting to technological change, and he warned that in an age "powered by AI," companies that do not invest in and embrace it as a core part of their strategy "are going to suffer." He also mentioned a failed attempt to create a self-certification program for "green hotels," which he said did not succeed because the company was not receiving honest declarations.
