Five Companies That Went Thousands of Miles to Use Mauritius - ICIJ

Dubbed “the largest online travel company in India” and with a corporate office located close to New Delhi, MakeMyTrip is headquartered in Mauritius. It has several subsidiaries: MakeMyTrip (India) Private Limited (the corporate office); MakeMyTrip Inc. (USA); MakeMyTrip FZ LLC (UAE); Luxury Tours & Travel Pte Ltd (Singapore); Luxury Tours (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd; the Hotel Travel Group; the ITC Group; and the EasyToBook.com Group.

In 2010, the company listed its shares on the NASDAQ — codenamed “Project Karma.” The Conyers law firm advised on Mauritian law as part of the public listing. The Mauritius company had a tax residency certificate, which allowed it to benefit from a double taxation treaty with India. MakeMyTrip did not respond to our questions.
 
MakeMyTrip moved the Court arguing that because of the Google Ads program, search results for “MakeMyTrip” would throw up sponsored links to Booking.com, a direct competitor.

"There is no possibility of any confusion. If you want to work on MakeMyTrip, then why will you log into Booking.com? This is not an issue which is res integra. They are not using your mark as well ... We have understood the matter. Dismissed," the CJI stated.
