SINGAPORE, 17 August 2026: Custom Travel Solutions (CTS), the white-label travel loyalty platform powering membership and subscription businesses, has appointed Ishan Anand as Vice President of Product.
The hire marks the latest in senior leadership additions as CTS scales its position as the most powerful infrastructure layer behind branded travel and lifestyle programmes.
Anand joins CTS from MakeMyTrip (NASDAQ: MMYT), India’s largest travel platform, where he led product strategy and business performance for several of the platform’s highest-traffic businesses.
At MakeMyTrip, Anand repeatedly took businesses with no search visibility, no funnel, and no revenue model and built them into some of the platform’s strongest growth engines. He conceived industry-first products that raised the standard for traveller trust and was an early champion of AI-first product practices across the organisation.
‘We are deliberately bringing in leaders who have built and scaled at the highest level of the travel industry. Ishan has done exactly that – from zero to category-leading growth engines, and he’ll shape what CTS builds next for our partners and beyond,” said CTS Founder and CEO Mike Putman.
“CTS gives any brand the platform, the inventory, and the economics to turn travel into something rare: a loyalty experience their members genuinely value, and a revenue line the brand fully owns. That combination is what drew me in, and the platform is already building for where booking goes next as the industry becomes more AI-driven. I’ve spent my career turning platforms like this into trusted, category-leading businesses, and the chance to do that at CTS’s global scale made this an easy decision.” – Ishan Anand, VP of Product
At CTS, Anand will lead product strategy and vision across the company’s platform, spanning its white-label travel loyalty infrastructure, AI-powered member experience, and an expanding suite of modules.
