Suryakumar Yadav aims to inspire and promote travel discovery as the Mr. 360 of travel.

Skyscanner today announced Suryakumar ‘SKY’ Yadav as its first-ever brand ambassador in India. Celebrated on the cricket field as ‘Mr. 360’ for his all-round play, SKY aims to now bring that same spirit to travel, partnering with Skyscanner to inspire and promote travel discovery as the Mr. 360 of travel.

With nearly half (47%) of Indians willing to travel to watch cricket live, the growing phenomenon of sport-led travel in the country, as highlighted by Skyscanner’s ‘Pitch Perfect Journeys’ report – said to complement this partnership and uniquely positions Skyscanner to tap into the passion for cricket.

Sharing his views, Suryakumar Yadav, Skyscanner Brand Ambassador, who is represented by RISE Worldwide, said, “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.”

Speaking on the collaboration, Neel Ghose, Country Manager & General Manager, Travel Expert, Skyscanner, India, shares, “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.”
