Celebrating the same, Madhavan Menon, Executive Chairman, Thomas Cook India, said, “Thomas Cook India Group has delivered record profits for both the quarter and FY2024. What makes this even more special is that every business and geography has contributed to the profitability. My appreciation and congratulations to all our teams, customers, partners, and shareholders for making this possible. I am also glad to announce the dividend of ₹0.60 per ₹1 share that is inclusive of a special dividend of ₹0.20 per share, to our valued shareholders. Personally, I believe the Group’s results reflect the buoyancy in the Indian and global travel services sector and therefore, our robust forward bookings, reflecting an 18% growth vs last year is very encouraging.”
