TBO Tek Limited operates as a travel distribution platform with a presence across 100 countries. The company provides buyers with a travel inventory and forex assistance.
The company’s two-sided technology platform enables Suppliers and Buyers to transact with each other. The Suppliers include hotels, airlines, car rentals, transfers, cruises, insurance, rail and others. Retail Buyers include travel agencies and independent travel advisors, and Enterprise Buyers include tour operators, travel management companies, online travel companies, super-apps and loyalty apps. Retail Buyers are the individual customers.
The company has two key revenue models to undertake transactions – B2B Rate Model, and the Commission Model. In the former, the company receives inventory from Suppliers on which it applies a mark-up and passes it on to Buyers. In the Commission Model, the Suppliers fix a price at which they sell to the end traveller. The commission received here is shared by the company and the Buyers.;

This leverages the platform’s core capabilities including Supplier and Buyer modules, payment infrastructure, with data assets and analytics, to quickly go-to-market and scale with minimal investment.
Since the platform generates large volumes of data, the company has developed an enterprise-wide data warehouse that segments data into areas such as searches, bookings, invoices, and payments. This data is curated and verified for accuracy before being subjected to data analytics, says the RHP.
The company reported revenue from operations of Rs. 141.80 cr, Rs. 483.26 cr and Rs. 1,064.58 cr in FY 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively.

The company’s gross transaction value (GTV) is entirely dependent on its air and hotels and ancillary bookings in the last three financial years and in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The company is dependent on a limited number of Suppliers for a significant portion of its GTV. The relationships with its Suppliers enables the company to offer its Buyers access to travel services and products.
