Client Overview

The client is a Delhi-based travel technology platform serving Indian travellers with flight and hotel price comparison and dynamic deal discovery. Their core proposition depended on continuously refreshed, multi-OTA travel pricing data.

MakeMyTrip and Goibibo (both under the MakeMyTrip group) plus Cleartrip and EaseMyTrip dominate Indian online travel. Flight and hotel pricing is intensely dynamic — fares change multiple times daily.

Business Challenges

Highly Dynamic Flight Fares

Domestic flight fares changed 5-15 times daily based on demand, seat availability, and competitor pricing.

Multi-OTA Price Inconsistency

Same flight or hotel often priced differently across MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Cleartrip, EaseMyTrip — requiring multi-platform capture.

Holiday Package Complexity

Holiday packages bundled flights, hotels, and activities — requiring decomposition for true price comparison.

Route & Seasonal Demand

Indian travel demand is highly seasonal (Diwali, summer holidays, wedding season) — pricing intelligence had to account for demand cycles.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

• Track flight fares across 200+ domestic routes on 4 OTAs
• Capture hotel rates for 50,000+ Indian hotels
• Decompose holiday packages into component pricing
