NASDAQ-listed travel tech major MakeMyTrip on Wednesday announced it will collaborate with OpenAI to deepen AI-led travel discovery and capture high-intent travel queries, aimed at translating them into bookable outcomes. The announcement comes at a time when there is an increasing adoption of generative AI in India's travel booking ecosystem by platforms to tap conversational intent of users via tools like chatbots to try and convert them into bookings. MakeMyTrip will use OpenAI's APIs (application programming interfaces) to power new artificial intelligence features in its app, enabling travellers to move from conversational inspiration to booking within the MakeMyTrip's 'Myra' chatbot interface. The collaboration strengthens MakeMyTrip's ability to respond dynamically to evolving travel intent, delivering structured, transaction-ready options across flights, hotels and ancillary services. It marks a shift from passive search visibility to active participation in AI-led discovery

MakeMyTrip has teamed up with senior care brand Emoha to offer curated, safety-first holiday packages for travellers aged over 60, with tailored support, flexible pacing, and elder-friendly features

NASDAQ-listed MakeMyTrip on Friday announced its collaboration with Emoha to launch holiday packages for travellers aged over 60 years.

Jasmeet Singh, Chief Commercial Officer - Holidays & Experiences, MakeMyTrip, said, "Travel is one of life's greatest joys, and our elders deserve to experience it without worry.
