Yatra Online IPO: Salient Points
Post the IPO, Promoters holding will come down from 100% to 73.64%.
The Indian travel industry is expected to grow at a 9-11% CAGR during FY23-28 period to reach Rs ~45000 billion in FY28.
The company business is based on a common technology platform that serves their customers through multiple mobile applications as well as their website www.yatra.com. Their technology platform has been designed to deliver a high level of reliability, security, scalability, integration and innovation.
During the 2nd quarter of fiscal year 2018 and 4th quarter of fiscal year 2019, they completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Yatra For Business Pvt Ltd and the corporate division of PL Worldways known as Travel.co.in Ltd, or TCIL, which strengthen leadership position in the B2B category.
It is one of the well-recognized travel brands and caters to both leisure and business travelers.
Yatra has raised significant amount ( Rs. 1500 crore or more) since its inception but yet operations have resulted in meager profits.
While , the company’s revenue has grown at a CAGR of 74% from FY21-23 driven by post COVID demand, however, it has been posting losses and a small profit last year.
This is indicative of high competition and low margins in travel industry.
It has a high dependence on Air ticketing business (~47% of revenue)

Easy Trip Planners Ltd with sales of 448 Cr in FY23 which is higher than Yatra sales has much better profit margins and is still quoting at a PE of 49.8. Thus Yatra does not seem attractive to me and Iam not willing to pay such difference just on brand recall.
Yatra Online IPO is coming at a PE ratio of 287x(fy23 earnings).
I do not intend to apply in Yatra Online IPO.
GMP as reported on social media is almost NIL.
