- Cox & Kings Limited (COX&KINGS.NS) operates as a travel services company focused on leisure tourism, destination management, outbound and inbound tours, corporate travel, MICE events, trade fairs, visa processing, and foreign exchange services; it offers specialized packages including domestic holidays under Bharat Dekho, international leisure travel via Duniya Dekho, religious pilgrimages through Bhakti Yatra, luxury escapades, Holiday 365, Tour to Feast, education tours, activity holidays, spa retreats, beach vacations, and train journeys, with ground handling across South Asia encompassing hotel bookings, transfers, excursions, and conference management. Founded in 1758 and historically headquartered in Mumbai, India, at the Turner Morrison Building in Fort, the company maintains operations in 22 countries across four continents, targeting individuals, groups, businesses, and high-end inbound markets from Europe, the US, and Australia through brands like PGL and NST for education travel. In May 2024, Singapore-based private equity firm Wilson & Hughes acquired the Indian entity and over 200 sub-brands through the National Company Law Tribunal insolvency process for an estimated Rs 12 crore, free of prior liabilities, marking its re-entry into the travel market with plans to integrate AI, data analytics, and digital personalization for leisure, business, and specialized segments amid India's growing $125 billion travel industry; the original Cox & Kings Ltd remains under liquidation following 2019 insolvency, while the UK business operates under Abercrombie & Kent ownership.
