    Cleartrip’s new campaign books the right vibe with Dhoni and CarryMinati

    MUMBAI: Not every hotel is a perfect match, just ask MS Dhoni and Carryminati, the unlikely duo starring in Cleartrip’s latest explore hotels by vibe campaign. The travel platform’s new ad cleverly plays on contrasting personalities, showing how the right vibe can make or break a trip.

    The film follows Youtube sensation Carryminati, known for his high-energy, unfiltered style, as he hilariously struggles to match Dhoni’s legendary composure in a setting that’s clearly not his scene. The message? Finding a stay that matches your mood is just as important as the destination itself.

    With the explore hotels by vibe feature, Cleartrip is shifting how travellers pick their stays. Instead of just focusing on location and amenities, the platform now curates hotels based on experience and mood—be it a peaceful retreat or an adrenaline-packed escape.

    “At Cleartrip, we believe the right vibe can transform a trip,” said Cleartrip chief marketing & revenue officer Tavleen Bhatia. “Some travellers chase high-energy adventures, while others seek a slow, relaxing getaway. MS Dhoni and Carryminati bring this contrast to life, proving that, no matter your travel style, there’s a perfect hotel waiting for you.”

    Cleartrip aims to tackle a major OTA (online travel agency) challenge simplifying hotel selection. By allowing travellers to choose stays based on mood, the platform makes travel planning effortless and personalised.

We are thrilled to have him onboard. We collectively hope to further our vision of promoting the spirit of winning and culturally relevant content across Bharat.”
