A 14-year-old online travel company in India has fallen victim to the Covid-19-triggered economic slump – and it might be the first of several.
On April 15, e-commerce giant Flipkart said it will acquire Cleartrip, a Mumbai based-based flight and hotel booking portal, for an undisclosed amount
. Some media reports have pegged the deal at around $40 million (Rs 299 crore). In 2019, Cleartrip had posted a revenue of $100 million and registered gross bookings to the tune of $1.5 billion.
