MakeMyTrip’s AI Assistant 2x Daily Conversations to 50,000 in Q3FY26

0

The Q3FY26 earnings report indicates that Myra is no longer just a support tool but a critical driver of “top-of-funnel” travel inspiration. By capturing user intent earlier in the planning phase, MakeMyTrip is reducing its reliance on external search engines.

Key Engagement Metrics

  • Scale: 50,000+ daily conversations, representing a 100% growth compared to the ~25,000 daily conversations reported in Q2FY26.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Approximately 72% of interactions were rated as “good” by users, with an average quality score of 3.9/5.
  • Planning vs. Booking: About 23%–24% of conversations involve early-stage trip planning, helping the platform influence destination choices before a flight or hotel is even searched.
  • Autonomous Resolution: Combined with standard chatbots, AI now autonomously resolves nearly 50% of customer queries across flights and hotels.

Democratizing Travel via Voice & Vernacular

A standout feature of Myra’s growth in 2026 is its success in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, where traditional text-heavy interfaces often face friction.

MetricNon-Metro / Tier-2+ Impact
User BaseOver 45% of Myra users are from Tier-2 cities and beyond.
Voice PreferenceVoice-led interactions are 50% higher in non-metro regions compared to metros.
Language SupportFull conversational support in Hindi and English, with additional regional languages in beta.
New UsersRoughly 20% of interactions come from first-time platform users.

Financial Context: Q3FY26 Highlights

The AI milestone comes amid a strong financial quarter for the Nasdaq-listed OTA (Online Travel Agency):

  • Revenue: Increased 15.4% YoY (constant currency) to $295.7 million.
  • Adjusted Net Profit: Rose to $51.4 million, up from $44.9 million in Q3FY25.
  • Segment Growth: Hotels and Packages saw a 20.3% increase in room nights, while the “Others” segment (which includes AI-led ancillaries) surged 45.5%.

Conclusion: AI as an “Operating System”

CEO Rajesh Magow emphasized that AI is now at the center of MakeMyTrip’s core strategy. Rather than being a “bolt-on” feature, Myra is acting as an operating system layer that handles everything from multimodal inputs (voice and images) to complex itinerary edits and post-sales support. As the platform prepares for the H2 2026 travel season, the focus remains on protecting direct app traffic through these hyper-personalized AI experiences.
