The project involved creating mobile apps and a touchsite designed from a ‘mobile-first’ angle – the focus was on providing features that give ‘real’ value and benefit and are used uniquely on the mobile platform. today, MakeMyTrip has apps for smartphones – Android, Blackberry and iOS, besides a HTML-optimized touch site. makemytrip also recently launched last-minute hotel deals where customers can access deep discounts (at least 30%) on sameday Hotel booking.

Travellers on the move can access these deals through MakeMyTrip Mobile apps and on the mobile touch-site.
