Aashvi Shah: Good evening, everyone. This is Aashvi Shah from Adfactors PR Investor
Relations. On behalf of TBO Tek Limited, I would like to welcome you all
to the Earnings Conference Call for Q2 and H1 FY27.
Today on the call, we have with us from the management, Mr. Ankush
Nijhawan, Co-Founder and Joint Managing Director, Mr. Gaurav
Bhatnagar, Co-Founder and Joint Managing Director, Mr. Vikas Jain, Chief
Financial Officer, Mr. Akshat Verma, Whole-Time Director and Chief
Technology Officer, Mr. Pramendra Tomar, General Counsel and Mr.
Shreshth Mahajan, Associate Director- Investor Relations.
We will begin today's call with opening remarks from the management,
following which we will open the flow for Q&A. Before we begin, I would
like to remind everyone that certain statements made during this call may
be forward-looking in nature. These statements are based on
management's current expectations and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied. TBO Tek undertakes no obligation to publicly
update these or revise any forward-looking statements based on
subsequent events or developments.
With that, I would now like to hand over the call to Mr. Gaurav Bhatnagar
for his opening remarks. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Gaurav Bhatnagar: Thank you, Aashvi. Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining our
Q2 & H1 FY27 Earnings Call.
We are very happy to report that despite a very difficult geopolitical
climate, we have been able to deliver strong double-digit growth in the
core organic business as well. We have shared the numbers, but I do want
to highlight that the 16% growth in GTV led to a 27% growth in adjusted
EBITDA. So, we are continuing to demonstrate operating leverage for the
second consecutive quarter.
These numbers could be a lot stronger, and I just want to highlight a few
things to demonstrate that once things start to get better, where

eventually expect the business to be. Middle East, which has been the most
impacted market because of the ongoing conflict, also delivered 10%
growth on constant currency basis. With currency, we are seeing a 20%
growth, but even on constant currency, Middle East delivered a 10%
growth, which is quite remarkable given the circumstances that we are
operating in. The market is obviously well below its baseline from a year
ago. Our belief is that in a market like Middle East, we are continuing to
gain share.
Markets like Europe and APAC have delivered north of 30% growth.
Europe on a fairly large base, has been becoming our largest source
market now, which again is generally a consequence of the investment we
had done in market development starting early 2025, which is also visible
in the number of active agents continuing to grow at a solid pace.
While the quarter has been tough, our belief in the organic business
remains because of the fact that the underlying metrics, which is number
of active agents, bookings per active agent, and growth in our ancillary
businesses all continue to point to strong revival and strong, even faster
growth once the geopolitical climate improves.
The other bit that I want to highlight on is Classic Vacations. We have
completed one year of that transaction now, and have started to get a good
grip of that business. One of the key actions we have taken in the last six
months is that we have expanded our sales team. We have hired about 20
new people in sales since we acquired the business. About half of them are
in the company less than six months. In fact, probably a quarter of them
are less than three months. About half of them are less than six months in
the company. There is going to be some lag between when this investment
starts to deliver results, but we have a clear idea on how we want to
develop this business.
The investment thesis remains strong on Classic. The opportunity with
Classic ease our entry into the luxury end of the segment, which is where
we want to operate in the post-AI era. Classic is also giving us

opportunities to develop a newest corridor, which is the U.S. to Europe
corridor. Our belief is that if the conflict remains, if the conflict prolongs,
then probably that is one corridor which will have relatively less
headwinds because of what is happening elsewhere in the world.
The final bit is we are continuing to focus on operational efficiencies.
While we wait for markets to revive and there is a little bit of pause on
new market development at this point in time, we are continuing to invest
in building or using AI and technology to automate processes, to build
tools for our sales team to become more effective, and tools for our
operations team to automate a fair bit of work that they do. This is one of
the reasons why you will see that our constant currency SG&A growth has
been high single digits and significantly outpacing our top-line growth.
I will take a pause here, and we will open for questions.
Aashvi Shah: Thank you, sir. We will now begin the Q&A session. Participants are
requested to raise their virtual hands and to ask questions. We request
you to introduce yourself and the firm you represent before you ask the
question. We shall wait for few moments before everyone assembles for
the question que. We will take the first question from Mr. Karan Uppal.
Karan, please unmute yourself and go ahead with your question.
Karan Uppal: Thanks for the opportunity and fairly good set of numbers. First question
is on the demand environment. Gaurav, you touched upon it, but just
wanted to understand that given the elevated fares in international flights
as well as uncertain geopolitical and macro environment, any pullback you
are seeing in the demand, given that you cater to, let us say, the premium
and the luxury end of the market? Just wanted to understand from you,
how are
