Le Travenues Technology Limited — Investor Meet, 13-08-2026: Analysts/Institutional Investor Meet/Con. Call Updates
Ixigo's Q1 FY27 results show GTV up 19% YoY to Rs. 5524.33 Cr, revenue increased 13% to Rs. 356.75 Cr, and PAT surged 81% to Rs. 34.24 Cr. Adjusted EBITDA saw a 7% dip to Rs. 29.24 Cr.
Management emphasized their diversified platform's growth despite external challenges like high airfares and train policy constraints. The bus segment was a standout, growing GTV by 39% and becoming the largest contribution margin contributor. Flight GTV rose 27% despite market capacity cuts, while the train segment increased its OTA market share to 63%.
The company is strategically reinvesting operating leverage from its core businesses into hotels and AI initiatives. Hotels are a fast-growing vertical, with 0.5 million "heads on beds," primarily from existing users. They aim to be the top mid-market/budget hotel platform in 4-5 years, supported by the Brevistay acquisition. AI investments, including busGDS.ai and ixigo NEXT with TARA, are enhancing customer experience, with AI chatbots now resolving 92% of queries.
Ad spend is seasonal, with Q1 being heavier, not a new baseline. Investments in hotels and AI are expected to impact near-term margins but are crucial for long-term value creation. The overall sentiment is confident in long-term strategic growth.
