ATPI, a world-leading travel and events solutions provider, has announced a major expansion of its operations in India to meet the country's rapidly growing demand for corporate travel and event services. This strategic move comes at a time when India’s business travel sector is seeing an impressive rebound, with projected expenditure expected to touch USD 38.2 billion in 2024—an 18.3% year-on-year increase.
In line with this surge, ATPI has reinforced its presence across the country with new offices in Ahmedabad, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, and Bangalore, while significantly strengthening operations in Chennai. These hubs are designed to deliver seamless, client-first travel management services to a wide array of industries, including electronics manufacturing, IT & ITeS, automobile manufacturing, agri and processed food, and textiles.
The Chennai office plays a pivotal role in supporting Southern India’s thriving technology and innovation corridor. With dedicated account teams offering deep domain expertise, the office enables clients to manage complex, global travel operations with efficiency and agility—making it a key enabler of the region’s digital and industrial transformation.
The expansion is also in line with ATPI’s continuing investment in their commitment to provide seamless, client-first travel and event management solutions for diverse industries. The company’s unique, proprietary propositions encompass high-touch customer service, travel solutions, risk management expertise and sustainable practices that include:
- Next-Gen Online Booking Tools - ATPI partners cutting-edge booking technology providers to deliver an integrated travel and expense platform which automates workflows, provides comprehensive spending visibility and delivers an intuitive, frictionless experience
- Travel Hub: a single-platform dashboard for organisations to manage business travel
- Halo: CO2 measurement, reduction and compensation services for sustainability
- Alerts: empowers corporate travel managers with pertinent information, enabling them to swiftly respond to unforeseen travel crises and strategically plan for optimal efficiency
Vishal Sawant, Chief Commercial Officer, ATPI India, said: “As Indian businesses scale and expand their global footprint, their travel needs are evolving rapidly. Our expanded footprint is a response to this growth—we’re not just managing travel; we’re enabling efficiency, agility and smarter decision-making. From high-growth tech start-ups to legacy manufacturing companies, we’re helping our clients move forward with confidence. ATPI’s strength lies in our ability to combine global best practices with local expertise, and that’s what sets us apart.”
India’s resurgence in corporate and MICE travel is part of a wider regional trend. The Asian corporate travel market is valued at USD 737.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 848.16 billion by 2025. To meet this growing demand, ATPI is also expanding its footprint across key Asian markets. New offices in Shanghai, Taipei, and Seoul, along with enhanced operations in India and Indonesia, position ATPI at the forefront of Asia’s travel evolution. In Indonesia, the new office in Balikpapan places ATPI at the heart of the country’s oil, gas, and mining industries, while Chennai’s expansion capitalizes on Southern India’s booming IT sector.
ATPI’s deep insights into tech-driven industries in mainland China are fueling business travel demand across the AI, electric vehicle, and renewable energy sectors. Taiwan’s export-focused economy and South Korea’s position as the sixth most innovative country globally (source) make both markets ideal for ATPI’s advanced travel solutions.
Ali Hussain, Managing Director, ATPI Asia said: “Our growth underlines ATPI’s longstanding commitment to Asia’s rapidly evolving travel and events landscape. The new markets are of strategic importance as they permit us to fully cater to our regional clients, share our know-how on domestic market essentials and support them with customised, industry-leading solutions”.
“Our expanded presence in Asia enables us to sharpen our objective and ensure our strengths and strategies are in line with any challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. They allow us to be closer to our clients and be ideally positioned to meet regional business travel needs with agility, precision and confidence.”
These developments further strengthens ATPI’s positioning as a global leader in business travel, combining local insight with international capability to deliver bespoke, forward-thinking solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern travel.
