Indian Premier League – MakeMyTrip and SunRisers Hyderabad Come Together

This day was the day when a few brilliant young minds came together to start an extraordinary journey. A journey that had all the ingredients of an epic story from the teething problems to the more strenuous battles – yes, MakeMyTrip has come a long way since the day it was founded. On March 28, 2013, MakeMyTrip made another companion – the SunRisers Hyderabad, the team that represents the nawaabon ka sheher (Hyderabad) in the Indian Premier League. For IPL 2013, MakeMyTrip is the Principle Sponsor for the SunRisers Hyderabad, a team that boasts of an exciting blend of young talented players and experienced veterans.

We, at MakeMyTrip are excited too. After all, our partnership with SunRisers Hyderabad means that for the very first time, the two things Indians are most passionate about, cricket and travel, will share a common platform. Summarising the scope of this association, Mr. Deep Kalra, CEO MakeMyTrip, had this to say, “We are delighted to partner with SunRisers Hyderabad and reach out to millions of IPL fans through this association. The IPL beautifully demonstrates the synergies of the twin passions of Cricket and Travel, with fans following their teams to match-venues across different parts of the country. Together with our customers, we look forward to the IPL excitement and wish our team the very best.”

No one could have put it better! Mr. K Shanmugam, CEO, SunRisers Hyderabad, had a few words (of praise) of his own, “MakeMyTrip has been a pioneer in the category of Online Travel in India, and a harbinger of change. We are confident that they will ably partner us in our journey of reinvention and quest for success.  We welcome them to the SunRisers family and look forward to a successful association.”
