About The Function

The Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) function at MakeMyTrip serves as a strategic growth driver by identifying, evaluating, and executing investment, acquisition, and partnership opportunities that align with the company’s long-term vision. The team conducts market scanning, sector research, financial modeling, valuation analysis, and due diligence to assess strategic fit and financial viability, while collaborating closely with business, finance, legal, and leadership stakeholders to structure and execute transactions.
