While reviewing the RHP of TBO Tek IPO, Anand Rathi's report says, 'The company’s business solution solves discovery, reliability, transaction & service woes by aggregating global travel supply and demand on one platform. The platform enables buyers and suppliers to transact seamlessly. The landscape for suppliers and buyers is highly fragmented. Beyond hotels and airlines, the fragmentation is even more prevalent in ancillary segments such as car transfers and sightseeing, with only a few large chains and several individual suppliers. Similarly, on the Buyer side, there are ~1.5/2m estimated number of Buyers (Travel agencies, independent travel advisors, etc) to whom customers reach out depending upon their needs. We reckon fragmentation in the travel market would persist, and the resulting market friction would increase further."
