BookMyShow is India's leading online ticketing and live entertainment platform, connecting audiences to movies, concerts, sports events, plays, and experiences across the country. Founded in 1999 as BigTree Entertainment, the company digitised India's fragmented entertainment ticketing landscape and today operates as a full-stack live entertainment company combining ticketing technology, consumer reach, and end-to-end event production capabilities. BookMyShow processes tens of millions of transactions monthly and has expanded beyond India to select international markets. The platform covers multiplexes, indie theatres, and India's fast-growing live events sector — from international artist tours to cricket matches and comedy shows. KKR's August 2026 minority investment at a valuation of approximately $800 million supports BookMyShow's next phase of growth in live entertainment and experiences, as competition intensifies with Flipkart's entry into ticketing and Eternal's District platform.
