MakeMyTrip’s Newly Launched Price Drop Protection Refunds Flyers if Fares Drop After Booking

For Indian travellers, planning a trip means carefully weighing when to book: tracking fares, calculating whether to book or wait, and often second-guessing if the fare might drop after the booking is confirmed. Addressing this fare anxiety, MakeMyTrip’s Price Drop Protection, a newly launched feature, refunds the difference if the flight fare drops after a traveller books. With this feature, travellers can book early with confidence, knowing they will benefit if a lower fare becomes available before departure. The pattern of careful deliberation amongst Indian travellers shows up in their booking behaviour. They search for the same flights multiple times before finally booking. And when they eventually book, it often comes close to the date of travel. Travellers recheck fares so often because travel plans are still taking shape; personal and work commitments can shift, and there is a constant keenness to secure the best possible fare. This is what drives the pattern of prolonged s...

The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI)  released its Guidelines for Responsible Labelling of Synthetically Generated Content in Advertising, setting out when advertisers need to disclose the use of synthetically generated content (SGC) and what uses are not allowed. The guidelines follow stakeholder consultations on the draft guidelines released in May.   As brands increasingly use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create and enhance advertising content, the guidelines focus on how such content can affect consumers. SGC can be misleading or harmful when it creates unrealistic expectations, takes advantage of vulnerable populations, shows unsafe situations, uses a person’s likeness without their consent, or presents false or misleading information. All advertisements using SGC must comply with the ASCI Code.   The guidelines will come into effect three months from the date of publication. The guidelines set out four key areas to help advertisers determine when...
