Suryakumar Yadav partners with Skyscanner

Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav has been named as a brand ambassador for global travel company Skyscanner.

The 34-year-old, captain of India’s men’s T20 national team, thus becomes the first-ever brand ambassador for Skyscanner in India.

The partnership was launched with a fan contest, promoted through Yadav and Skyscanner India’s social media accounts, where users were asked to curate a personalised travel plan for Yadav using Skyscanner’s features, with ten winners getting the chance to meet him.

On his team-up with Skyscanner, Yadav commented:

“Travel has always been something that excites me as much as cricket- whether it is exploring new places during tours or discovering hidden gems on break. Partnering with Skyscanner feels natural because it’s about making travel simple, smart, and full of possibilities. I’m looking forward to inspiring more fans to combine their love for cricket with the joy of discovering the world.“

Neel Ghose, Country Manager & General Manager, Travel Expert, Skyscanner India, added:

“We are really excited to welcome SKY to the Skyscanner family. His connection with people across India makes him the perfect partner to help us show travellers just how simple, affordable and joyful planning a trip with Skyscanner can be. With him alongside, we aim to make travel not just more accessible, but a source of inspiration and connection for every Indian traveller. Last year, we inaugurated our first office in India and today marks yet another special occasion with SKY as the face of our brand. This is a testament to our growing presence in the market and how we wish to highlight travel to wider demographics, inspiring exploration with Skyscanner as a trusted travel partner.“
