through to the parent entity Yatra Online, Inc.
Part of these proceeds will be used:
- To repay the MAK debt and
- To potentially initiate buyback of YTRA shares.

Additionally, the IPO will also be beneficial on several fronts
as it:
- Provides a liquid stock that can be used for local M&A in
India.

adding retail and institutional investors in India already familiar with Yatra's business
and brand.
