Mastercard introduces ‘Lifestyle Navigator’, its global AIpowered concierge, in collaboration with MakeMyTrip’s Myra

New Delhi: Mastercard announced the launch of ‘Lifestyle Navigator’, an AI-powered travel and lifestyle concierge in collaboration with MakeMyTrip on Monday.

The company said it brings together MakeMyTrip’s travel marketplace and content ecosystem and its GenAI Trip Planning Assistant, Myra with Mastercard’s AI capabilities and aims to deepen personalization through curated travel experiences and a global network of offers.

The company said the solution represents Mastercard’s first-ever global deployment of this white label platform, making India the first market worldwide and MakeMyTrip the first OTA partner.


Lifestyle Navigator, that will be launched later this year, will draw curated insights from food, culture, adventure, and retail specialists across key global destinations, while recommending the most relevant payment product to maximize each traveller’s benefits and savings, the companies said.

Rajesh Magow, co-founder and group CEO, MakeMyTrip, said the AI-powered Trip Planning Assistant, Myra, has been developed to convert data-led insights into personalized experiences that are timely and relevant for each traveller.

"We are very happy to collaborate with Mastercard to power the trip planning experience with Lifestyle Navigator, to provide a smooth experience for our travellers. I am hopeful that our travellers will find value in what we are building together," he added.

Gautam Aggarwal, president, India and South Asia, Mastercard, said travel is about the moments that make each journey special.

"With Lifestyle Navigator, we are entering a new era where discovery, planning and experiences come together through AI. By pairing Mastercard’s global network of offers and privileges with MakeMyTrip’s deep travel expertise, we’re harnessing AI and data intelligence in a way that is practical, trusted and deeply contextual – helping consumers make better decisions while enabling a more connected, intelligent travel ecosystem in India," he added.

Kaveri Khullar, senior vice president, consumer marketing and sponsorships for Asia Pacific at Mastercard, said the future of travel planning isn’t endless recommendations- it's trusted intelligence. "That insight led us to create Mastercard Lifestyle Navigator, a first-of-it’s-kind platform that combines AI, the expertise of leading travel and lifestyle creators, and relevant offers from Mastercard’s banking and merchant partners. The result is intelligence that travels with you—like having a well-connected local in your pocket, guiding you seamlessly from inspiration to experience," she added.

The launch comes at a time when India’s travel ecosystem is expanding rapidly.

According to the Mastercard Economics Institute’s Economic Outlook 2026, the country is projected to lead major Asia Pacific economies, supported by strong domestic demand and accelerating digitization.
