Traffic/Stats of Indian OTAs

As per comscore(*), the traffic seems to decline consistently (representative of the flight occupancy/airline industry) – MMT and Yatra are the only who seem to be heading north.

What’s your take?

*: I believe, quite a significant traffic to OTAs come from cybercafes, which comscore doesn’t track – so take these numbers with a pinch of salt.
