In India, Seven Hall Trees Events has added two new agencies – Modi Corporate Travel and Thomas Cook (India), Ltd.

Modi Corporate Travel has been a leading travel management company in India for more than 30 years, servicing out of three locations in New Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai. The company provides expertise in all aspects of travel, including corporate travel services, group tours and packages, MICE, offshore travel management, and auxiliary services. Modi Corporate Travel is one of the ventures backed by the renowned Modi Group. The Modi conglomerate is worth 2.8 billion USD, with a team strength of 1,700 members and core expertise in glass, rubber, travel, franchising, and education.

Set up in 1881, Thomas Cook (India) Ltd. (TCIL) is the leading integrated travel and travel-related financial services company in India, offering a broad spectrum of services that include foreign exchange, corporate travel, MICE, leisure travel, value-added services, visa and passport services, and e-business.

“India is a strategic and growing market for us,” said Steve Woodford, Director, Agency Network, EMEIA at Seven Hall Trees Events. “We are very excited to be able to welcome two market leaders to our network who will provide our global clients a best-in-market servicing solution.”
