What the engines did

  1. 01

    Asked about the company directly, engines were accurate and broadly positive. Recognition was not the problem.

  2. 02

    On open questions such as the best corporate travel companies in India, MICE partners and GST input credit, the company was absent while national and global travel brands were named.

  3. 03

    The one open question it won was its home city, where one engine ranked it second. It had no pages for the other cities it serves.

  4. 04

    One engine noted limited independent client reviews, the kind of caveat that costs a shortlist place.
