Nasdaq-listed MakeMyTrip has completed repurchase of over 3.4 crore Class B shares held by China-based Trip.com, bringing down the latter’s voting power in the travel booking platform to 16.90 per cent from 45.34 per cent.

The Gurugram-headquartered MakeMyTrip informed the US stock exchange that three Trip.com-nominated directors had resigned with immediate effect following the completion of the repurchase, as the number of Trip.com nominated directors on its Board has been reduced from five directors earlier, to two directors pursuant to the Terms of Issue of the Class B shares. The move comes in the backdrop of calls for minimising business relations with companies and investors from countries such as China and Turkiye.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
