How ixigo generated a remarkable 44% total conversions with Microsoft’s Dynamic Search Ads

​​India has the world’s fourth‑largest railway network, covering over 67,000 km of track and more than 7,000 stations.

​Online travel startup ixigo has made its mission to simplify the process of booking train tickets and provide a smooth and hassle‑free experience for travelers.

​To stay ahead of the competition and grow its customer base, ixigo partnered with Microsoft Advertising and InMobi to scale up its Search Ads campaign.​

Our collaboration with Microsoft Advertising and InMobi exceeded expectations. We were amazed by the high volume of Bing's high‑intent users seeking travel options. DSAs efficiently leveraged this, helped us scale up, and delivered remarkable results.
