Revolutionizing Business Travel: How myBiz is Redefining Corporate Travel Management

As industries evolve, so do the nature and needs of businesses. The hallmark of today’s businesses that sustain and emerge as game-changers in this fast-paced, tech-driven world is their ability to adapt to change with agility and innovation. Recognising this, myBiz by MakeMyTrip has emerged as a frontrunner in revolutionising corporate travel management.

India’s business travel sector is experiencing robust growth, indicating a shifting paradigm. India is the world's ninth-largest travel market for business travel spending and the fourth-largest market for the Asia Pacific region. In 2023, India’s business travel spending grew 24.7% and experts anticipate an 18.3% increase in spending in 2024, according to an industry report. In response to this shifting paradigm, myBiz has adopted a tech-first approach to streamline business travel and expense management seamlessly.

At the heart of myBiz’s success lies its commitment to innovation, agility, and a future-ready approach. By harnessing the power of technology, myBiz caters to the dynamic needs and shifting expectations of the industry, blazing the trail of corporate travel.


The myBiz advantage
The need for efficient travel management is paramount in today’s fast-paced business landscape. Organisations demand seamless, tech-driven travel management solutions as opposed to existing conventional offline and hybrid solutions. To bridge this gulf, myBiz has adopted a revolutionary tech-first approach, cementing its position as a game-changer.

Larger enterprises often struggle to find the right mix of traveller comfort and convenience and a hassle-free system with complex and cumbersome manual booking processes providing them with no respite. Moreover, such outdated manual booking mechanisms are not aligned with the pace and multi-layered processes that modern organisations thrive on. This gap between the demand for a robust yet fuss-free corporate travel mechanism and the conventional supply of burdensome booking options has led to a systemic void, and myBiz steps into this space to bridge the gap through innovation and a tech-first problem-solving approach.

In a nutshell, myBiz seeks to revolutionise this landscape, offering tech-driven solutions for the challenges faced by organisations. In its endeavour to cater to the evolving demands in the space of business travel management, myBiz offers seamless solutions that prioritise traveller comfort and convenience through artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled features such as an AI-powered recommendation engine, admin dashboard, automated approval flows, and so on.

The AI-powered recommendation engine creates personalised suggestions tailored to each organisation's preferences and requirements. How does it churn out these tailored suggestions? The answer lies in data analytics — which converts raw data into actionable insights. By analysing vast amounts of data, the myBiz AI engine ensures that every recommendation aligns perfectly with the company’s needs, optimising travel decisions and enhancing efficiency. Moreover, myBiz’s admin dashboard, which serves as a centralised hub for compiling travel bookings and expenditure data, offers real-time visibility and insights. This empowers organisations with the information needed for strategic decision-making, enabling them to allocate resources effectively and drive business growth. That’s not all. To ensure further synchronisation and seamless operation, myBiz upholds automated approval processes, paving the path for swift approvals, accessible even via WhatsApp. With reduced user intervention, bookings are completed immediately upon manager approval, enhancing user experience and maximising savings. The rationale is to minimise the need for manual and human interventions while ensuring transparency, ease, and speed, which also informs the process of automated GST reconciliation whereby myBiz consolidates all GST invoices in one accessible location, ensuring organisations never miss out on Input Tax Credit benefits.

For small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), the hurdles of business travel management can be even more daunting due to limited resources and tight budgets. This is where myBiz stands out in its efforts to empower SMEs through its user-friendly, self-booking online platform which eliminates the dependency on multiple resources, simplifying the hitherto complex travel framework. Additionally, benefits such as special contracted fares and corporate benefits are designed to enable SMEs to access the tech-enabled stack of travel booking management services offered by myBiz without any need for budgetary cuts or compromised savings.

While myBiz’s tech-for-all approach addresses the digital resource gap for SMEs, its mature tech stack effectively resolves the complexities faced by larger organisations. For instance, myBiz offers deep integrations with various platforms, utilising public APIs for expense, bookings, HRMS, and SSO. Rooted in myBiz’s core values of easy adoption and seamless integration, these solutions enhance corporate travel and expense management without necessitating a major overhaul of existing tech infrastructure. This approach is not only cost-effective but also time-sensitive, reflecting myBiz's mission in addressing business travel management challenges across organisations of diverse scales. .

Additionally, myBiz simplifies expense management through OCR technology, which accurately extracts data from receipts and invoices, reducing manual effort, minimising errors, and enhancing accuracy in financial transactions. That’s not all, its streamlined automated employee onboarding system ensures swift integration of new employees into the platform with minimal manual intervention, facilitating a seamless transition. Together, all these concerted efforts and dynamic features are transforming the way companies manage their travel needs.
