Platform achieves GDPR and California Consumer Privacy Act Compliance
MakeMyTrip, India’s leading online travel company, has achieved another significant milestone in its over two-decade-long journey by becoming accessible worldwide. Previously operational in India, the USA, and the UAE, MakeMyTrip has expanded its reach to over 150 countries, including major travel markets like the UK, USA, Germany, Japan, Italy, France, and many others, to benefit from its services. The travel platform has adhered to multiple international compliances, including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), to accomplish this feat.
“The rigorous standards of compliance and commitment to data protection we have in place for our Indian business, helped us transition smoothly towards stringent international compliances,” said Rajesh Magow, Co-founder & Group CEO of MakeMyTrip. “We are indebted to the trust and affection that we have received from Indian travellers for over two decades and continue to hold ourselves to higher standards and SOPs on a regular basis. Our decision to make MakeMyTrip accessible globally is as result of this very goal – testing our processes against rigorous protocols across the world to enable our travellers to book or modify their travel purchases on the platform without any roadblocks wherever they are geographically.”
Highlighting the focus on increased in-bound tourism, Rajesh Magow added, “Our global accessibility will help us reach the vast Indian diaspora. Importantly, this expansion will enable us to cater to a broader audience, fostering increased inbound travel to India. Our extensive coverage, offering accommodations in more than 2000 cities, will assist international tourists in discovering the hidden gems of India.”
MakeMyTrip’s commitment to being a reliable travel ally for Indian travellers remains steadfast, now extended to a global scale. The platform’s interface remains consistent, offering transactions in USD, AED, or INR.
