Globe-spanning corporate travel management business ATPI has grown dramatically in India, inaugurating new office locations in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, and Ahmedabad, and reinforcing its bases in Chennai. This is evidence of a greater trend within the corporate travel marketplace in India that is experiencing solid post-pandemic revival following swift industrialization and cross-country business partnerships.
India’s business travel expenditure is expected to touch USD 38.2 billion in 2024, showing an 18.3% growth from last year. This recovery has been mostly due to the revival of the manufacturing, technology, and services industries, as well as greater participation in international trade exhibitions, corporate conferences, and cross-country business transactions.
ATPI’s expanded presence in these five key cities aligns with the current demand trajectory. These urban centers are not only economic powerhouses but also hubs for diverse industries such as IT, electronics, Agri-processing, and automotive manufacturing. By embedding operations closer to their clients, ATPI aims to streamline corporate mobility and better respond to region-specific travel complexities.
Chennai, in particular, plays a central role in ATPI’s strategy for Southern India. The city’s robust IT corridor and expanding industrial base demand agile and tech-integrated travel solutions. The local office is reportedly equipped with specialized teams capable of managing large-scale travel operations, customized to suit the evolving needs of businesses operating in the region.
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.”
This growth is also accompanied by a greater regional emphasis. ATPI recently strengthened its reach throughout Asia with new offices in Shanghai, Taipei, and Seoul. With these moves, the company is preparing to serve increasingly global customers while remaining attuned to local business culture and regulatory conditions.
The wider Asian business travel market, worth more than USD 737 billion today, is set to reach over USD 848 billion by next year. For ATPI and similar companies, this is both an opportunity and a challenge: delivering consistent service standards while navigating the varied logistical and cultural environments of Asia’s leading economies.
The move into India and other Asian nations comes in the face of growing competition in the corporate travel sector. ATPI, though, seems intent on using its global reach, data insights, and on-ground presence to meet logistical needs and provide effective travel management for transition industries.
As India repositions itself as a global hub for innovation, services, and manufacturing, business travel is no longer just a logistical need—it’s a strategic function. ATPI’s move to deepen its roots in India underscores the growing importance of responsive, region-specific travel management in today’s dynamic corporate environment.
