Strategic Transformation
Management emphasized that the growth is driven by diversification beyond its core Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) business. Key developments include:
- Corporate Travel: Launched in April 2026, this vertical has onboarded over 100 corporate clients. It contributes approximately 10-15% of total revenue and offers recurring business through annual or multi-year relationships.
- Government Projects: The company secured a contract for the Punjab Yatra program, valued at around ₹92 crore, covering approximately 1.85 lakh pilgrims. Additionally, Mach Travel Solutions achieved IRCTC empanelment as an A-list vendor, enabling participation in rail tour services.
- MICE Business: Remains a strong contributor, accounting for roughly 70-80% of revenue in Q1 FY27. The company completed MICE programs worth around ₹32 crore in the Oceania region during the quarter.
Chairman and Managing Director Amit Bhatia stated that the company aims to achieve revenue of over ₹500 crore in FY27, leveraging its expanded customer base and technology-enabled self-booking tools.
Working Capital and Outlook
Addressing working capital management, management acknowledged current challenges due to rapid growth and payment cycles. While the company is largely debt-free with only about ₹3 crore of debt, it may seek overdraft facilities from banks to meet working capital requirements as business scales. Management expressed confidence that operating leverage will improve margins as new verticals reach scale and buying power increases.
