Services offered
Hi, my name is Akash Tiwari, and I am an experienced travel industry professional with a strong background in business development, supplier partnerships, and travel distribution. With over a decade of experience working with leading travel technology companies, airlines, and OTAs, I have built a deep understanding of the evolving travel landscape in both India and international markets.
I started my career in the travel technology space, where I worked with Amadeus as a Key Account Manager, managing national and global Travel Management Companies like Carlson Wagonlit, Thomas Cook, Yatra, Expedia, and TBO. This experience helped me develop expertise in GDS solutions, airline partnerships, and OTA integrations.
Following this, I transitioned into leadership roles within the travel and airline sector. I worked with Qatar Airways, Travel Wings LLC (a part of Satguru Travels), EaseMyTrip, and Yatra, where I was responsible for supplier relations, B2B distribution, and driving revenue growth. I have successfully negotiated contracts with OTAs, airlines, and hotel groups, optimizing inventory distribution and securing exclusive deals.
Currently, as the Travel Director at Baleno India Travels, I oversee airfare distribution, hotel partnerships, and MICE business development, working closely with corporate and individual clients. My recent focus has been on leveraging digital marketing, social media, and strategic partnerships to expand our reach and drive conversions.
Given my extensive experience in OTA relationships, airline supplier partnerships, and travel technology integrations, I am confident in my ability to contribute to a fast-growing travel metasearch platform. My strong industry connections, negotiation expertise, and deep understanding of traveler preferences in both India and the US make me well-equipped to scale supplier partnerships, enhance product offerings, and drive revenue growth.

I also led 20% revenue growth through strategic alliances with meta-search engines, financial institutions, and FMCG companies.

✔ Corporate & Leisure Travel Strategy – At Baleno India Travels, I lead corporate travel programs, MICE sales, and strategic planning for D’Amico Shipping Group, managing budgets and vendor negotiations to optimize travel spending.
With a deep understanding of the travel ecosystem, airline distribution, OTA integrations, and supplier partnerships, I am eager to bring my expertise to a leadership role within a travel management company, airline, OTA, or travel technology firm.
