May 2024: SabreMosaic, World Day For Cultural Diversity Celebrations, Leadership Visits, and More!

Some good news first - there's finally some relief in Bengaluru from the heatwave that’s gripping all of Asia. Now for some not-so-great news – the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) men's team has been eliminated from this year’s IPL tournament in the playoff stage. However, you can never discount RCB. The team came back from losing seven of their first eight matches to win six in a row towards the end of the tournament, securing a spot in the playoffs. While RCB didn’t make it to the finals, both the team and the fans can end the season with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Here’s looking forward to next season.

Sabre recently unveiled SabreMosaic?, a groundbreaking Offer and Order retailing platform designed to revolutionize airline retailing. The platform represents a significant shift from traditional PNR-based systems to a modern, dynamic approach. It leverages Google’s industry-leading AI and Google Cloud architecture to enable airlines to offer personalized and innovative retail experiences, opening new revenue streams. SabreMosaic’s modular, open, and cloud-native architecture allows airlines to customize their retail operations with API-based solutions, enhancing flexibility and speed to market. Building on Sabre's successful Retail Intelligence solutions, SabreMosaic includes ten new product suites covering all aspects of the retail process, from offers and orders to settlement and delivery. The platform supports both PNR-based and Offer-Order approaches, aligning with IATA’s vision for the industry. This innovative platform sets the stage for the future of airline retailing!

We held an activity in the office to celebrate the Sabre value of 'Be Ambitious,' which symbolizes pushing boundaries and achieving remarkable milestones. This hybrid event began with a quiz on famous personalities in the travel and tech industries who carved their paths with their ambitions. Leaders like Sriram Gopalswamy , Ashish Kasi , and Bindu Surendran shared personal stories about how ambition helped them grow in their respective careers. They explained why ambition should be driven by continuous learning, positivity, and fostering consistent growth.
