Thesis Summary

MakeMyTrip (MMYT) is the undisputed leader in India's online travel market, commanding over 50% market share across key segments. The company is uniquely positioned to capitalize on structural tailwinds, including a rising middle class, increasing digital adoption, and under-penetrated travel services in India. Despite near-term headwinds from geopolitical conflicts and domestic air capacity constraints, MMYT's strong operating leverage, robust cash generation, and strategic integration of AI across its platform support a highly attractive long-term growth narrative.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$65.00

Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East severely depress outbound travel, while persistent domestic air supply issues and aggressive competition from regional players compress margins.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$75.40
Matches the consensus mean

Steady domestic travel demand, continued shift from offline to online bookings, and stable adjusted operating profit margins of 1.8% to 2.0% of gross bookings, in line with management guidance.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$85.00

Rapid recovery in outbound travel, easing of domestic airline capacity constraints, and successful monetization of AI-driven personalization lead to market share gains and margin expansion above the historical range.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
