One Above set to strengthen footprints in Asia, ME & Africa with Cosmic Group’s investment

One Above will also deepen its involvement with DMC Bazaar; will launch Sales operations, new sales offices and will expand its global B2B travel agent network and destination partnerships. 

Cosmic Group, Hong-Kong based investment company with operations across India, Dubai, and Hong Kong, has acquired a strategic minority stake in One Above, marking a major milestone in One Above’s journey toward building a globally integrated travel platform. Under the transaction, Cosmic Group will hold a 20% equity stake in One Above.  

The investment brings together Cosmic Group’s diversified expertise across Real Estate, Hospitality, and Travel with One Above’s fast-growing destination management and B2B travel infrastructure capabilities. 

The fresh capital will support One Above’s expansion into Japan and Almaty, while strengthening its operational footprint across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. 

As part of the broader growth strategy, One Above will also deepen its involvement with DMC Bazaar, a B2B travel marketplace in which it holds equity. 

Through this partnership ⁠DMCBazaar.com will launch Sales operations in Dubai, Bali, Thailand, and Sri Lanka; New sales offices will open in Japan, Kazak, East Africa, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Dubai; and the platform will expand its global B2B travel agent network and destination partnerships, offering product and content through API, whitelabel products, and launch in many more countries for source market. This integrated model combines on-ground DMC control with a scalable B2B distribution engine. 

Rajesh from Cosmic Group said, “We see One Above as a new-age travel platform that blends strong destination operations with technology-led distribution. This investment reflects our confidence in their team and their vision to build global travel infrastructure.” 

Irshad Dadan at One Above added, “This partnership goes beyond funding. Cosmic Group brings deep experience across hospitality, real estate, and travel. Together, we are building a vertically integrated ecosystem that allows us to expand faster, enter new markets with confidence, and deliver consistent value across the travel supply chain.” 

With this strategic backing, One Above is positioning itself at the intersection of destination management, B2B travel technology, and hospitality partnerships, creating a connected global operating framework designed for scale, speed, and long-term sustainability.
