Global speakers to headline The Travel Connections in Mumbai
The Travel Connections event, set for 4 February at the JW Marriott in Juhu, Mumbai, will bring together leaders from the online travel community. Organised by Vervotech, a travel technology firm under Constellation Inc., the event will feature prominent speakers from both international and local companies.

Indian industry leaders such as Arun Bagaria, CEO of TravClan; Kahraman Yigit, Co-Founder and CEO of Olive Hospitality; and Sushant Mathur, Director of Product Management at Sabre Corporation, will also be present. Where the community gathers Sanjay Ghare, Founder and CEO of Vervotech, highlighted the event's unique focus on the online travel community, stating, “There are several great travel trade shows each year in India but really few real travel events in the sense of conferences for senior leaders focused around speakers and debate – and absolutely nothing focused on the online travel community. So we’ve decided to change that by launching The Travel Connections.” Vervotech, known for its AI-based hotel and room mapping solutions, aims to create a meaningful dialogue among approximately 200 senior figures expected to attend. The event promises to offer depth and insight rather than mere noise, with a selective approach to both attendees and speakers.
