About TBO Tek Limited

Incorporated in 2006, TBO Tek Limited is a leading travel distribution platform in the global travel and tourism industry. It assists travel agents in booking and managing trips for their customers.

The company through its two-sided technology platform allows suppliers like hotels, airlines, car rentals, transfers, cruises, insurance, rail and buyers like travel agencies, independent travel advisors, tour operators, travel management companies, online travel companies, super-apps, etc to transact seamlessly with each other.

The company has two key revenue models: B2B rate model wherein the company receives inventory from suppliers and applies a certain mark-up and pass on to the buyers. In the commission model, suppliers fix the price at which they want to sell, while TBO Tek receives commission from the supplier.

The large and fragmented base of suppliers gets to display and market inventory, and set prices for the global buyer base. On the other hand, the platform offers an integrated, multi-currency and multi-lingual one-stop solution for buyers to discover and book travel.

It operates in 100+ countries and has sold 7,500+ destinations as of FY23, with 41,000+ bookings per day. As of 31 December 2023, it had a global headcount of 2000 independent consultants, with bookings accepted in 55+ currencies and 11 languages.

Between FY21 and FY23, it saw a CAGR rise of 95% in its revenue from operations. Between Q3 FY23 and Q3FY24, its revenue from operations rose by 30% CAGR and its profit by 28%. Moreover, the travel and tourism industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from $1.9 to $2.6 trillion between 2023 and 2027, which could benefit the company.

Here’s a quick look at TBO Tek Limited IPO’s strengths, weakness, opportunities and risks (SWOT analysis)

Strengths and opportunities

The platform creates a network effect so that as its buyer base grows, it channels additional demand and more transactions are conducted through its platform. This attracts more suppliers, enabling it to offer better pricing, a wider range, and a higher volume of supply across both, existing and new products.
The modular and scalable nature of the platform allows it to rearrange and combine various components in an efficient manner and handle increasing workload without significant disruption or redesign. This helps it launch in different markets with minimum investment, such as Zamzam, the Umrah travel, which was able to onboard 100 agents within the first 30 days of launch.
Ability to generate and leverage large data assets to monetise it by refining its platform and user experience based on user activities.
Data driven decision making using sales forecasting models and marketing analytics.
Capital efficient business with EBITDA margins of -16%, 5%, 17% and 18% in FY21, FY22, FY23, and Q3 FY24.

Risks and threats

Business depends on relationships with a limited range of suppliers, as 68% and 71% of its gross transaction value came from its top 10 suppliers in FY23 and Q3 FY24, respectively.
Operates in a competitive industry and may face competition from players that are currently focused in the business to consumer, GDS, bed banks or channel manager sectors.
International operations are subject to risks specific to countries and regions as it operates through one direct subsidiary and 14 indirect subsidiaries incorporated in geographies outside India.
Subject to exchange rate fluctuations, which might affect its finances as 70% of its revenue from operations in Q3 FY24 was generated in currency other than Indian Rupees.
Subject to risks associated with expansion into new geographic regions such as lack of familiarity with the culture, local laws, regulations, and economic conditions, language barriers, difficulties in staffing; and the lack of brand recognition and reputation in such regions.
Has incurred a net loss of ₹34 crore in FY21 due to the impact of COVID-19 on the travel industry.
