What to watch
- Monthly international outbound booking trends and cancellation rates, especially for West Asia-connected routes.
- Domestic hotel room-night growth, package bookings and bus-ticket volumes.
- Airfare inflation, route suspensions, visa constraints and any escalation or de-escalation in the West Asia conflict.
- Contribution-margin and adjusted EBITDA trends relative to reported net income.
- Convertible-note interest, fair-value or accounting charges, refinancing activity and free-cash-flow conversion.
- Competitive discounting by Indian online travel agencies and travel suppliers' commission policies.
- Emphasize domestic hotels, bus bookings and short-haul destinations to replace lost international demand.
- Use targeted rather than broad-based promotions to defend share while preserving contribution margins.
- Increase supplier coordination on domestic inventory, cancellation flexibility and alternative international routings.
- Provide clearer investor disclosure separating operating profitability, cash generation and non-cash or financing-related convertible-note costs.
- Prioritize higher-repeat and higher-margin accommodation/package customers over low-margin flight-led acquisition.
