“India will be one of Airbnb’s biggest markets”： CEO Brian Chesky

Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky said the company is taking a “long game” approach in India, which he sees as one of its fastest-growing and most important global markets. He highlighted India’s rising middle class and large Gen Z population as key drivers of travel demand. Chesky said Airbnb is heavily investing in India, where domestic travel already accounts for most of its business. The company is also expanding its services and AI-powered features to improve travel planning and user experience in the coming years.
