India is one of Wego’s largest countries by headcount, with teams across Bangalore and Mumbai powering the company’s technology, operations, and commercial growth.
Wego, a travel app and online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), recently announced a major expansion of its Bangalore operations, moving to a new office with double the capacity of its previous location.
Wego first established its Bangalore office more than a decade ago, and the city has since become a cornerstone of the company’s global operations. The expanded office will house engineering, data science, product, and commercial teams, building on a deep bench of Indian talent that supports Wego’s platforms worldwide. In Mumbai, Wego operates a dedicated office for WegoPro, its next-generation corporate travel platform.
Ross Veitch, CEO and Co-Founder of Wego said, “We have been in Bangalore for over a decade, and India has become the beating heart of our global operations. The talent here is exceptional, and we want to keep investing in it. Doubling our Bangalore capacity alongside our Mumbai office makes India our largest country by headcount and that reflects just how central it is to everything we’re building at Wego.”
The expansion also comes as Wego continues to grow its consumer business in India. The company has built a loyal user base among Indian outbound travellers, with a particular strength along the India-Gulf corridor – one of the world’s busiest travel routes. Many Indian expatriates first discovered Wego while living and working in the Gulf and have continued using the platform upon returning home, fueling organic growth in India that complements the company’s broader expansion. Searches from India to destinations such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi continue to see strong year-on-year growth on the platform, while domestic Indian travel demand for flights, hotels, and rail is also rising steadily.
Wego has built strong partnerships across the Indian travel ecosystem. The platform works with all major Indian carriers as well as all Gulf airlines operating routes to India, giving it comprehensive coverage of the India-Gulf corridor. Wego also partners with Indian state tourism boards to promote destinations domestically and to international visitors and runs co-marketing campaigns with international tourism boards that are increasingly focused on India’s rapidly expanding outbound market.
Bernard Corraya, General Manager of Wego India added, “The India-Gulf corridor is a huge part of our story. Millions of Indian expats in the Gulf discovered Wego there and brought it home with them – that kind of organic loyalty is something you can’t buy. We now work with every major Indian airline, every Gulf carrier flying to India, and state tourism boards across the country.”
With offices in Bangalore and Mumbai and more employees in India than in any other country, Wego has firmly established itself as a leading travel platform in the Indian market with a strong share of flight, hotel, and rail searches nationwide
