Cosmic Group has acquired a strategic minority stake in One Above, marking a significant milestone in One Above’s journey to build a globally integrated travel platform. Under the transaction, Cosmic Group will hold a 20% equity stake in the company.
Founded in 2015, Cosmic Group is a privately held, globally diversified investment firm with operations across India, Dubai, and Hong Kong. The Group actively invests in mixed-use real estate developments, boutique hospitality assets, and technology-enabled travel ventures, focusing on high-impact lifestyle and experience-driven businesses.
This investment brings together Cosmic Group’s expertise across real estate, hospitality, and travel with One Above’s fast-growing destination management and B2B travel infrastructure capabilities.
Accelerating Global Expansion
The fresh capital will support One Above’s expansion into Japan and Almaty, while strengthening its operational footprint across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
As part of its broader growth strategy, One Above will deepen its involvement with DMC Bazaar, a B2B travel marketplace in which it holds equity.
Through this partnership:
-
DMCBazaar.com will launch sales operations in Dubai, Bali, Thailand, and Sri Lanka
-
New sales offices will open in Japan, Kazak, East Africa, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Dubai
-
The One Above platform, along with DMCBazaar.com, will expand its global B2B travel agent network and destination partnerships, offering product and content through API integrations, white-label solutions, and new source markets
This integrated model combines on-ground DMC control with a scalable B2B distribution engine, positioning the platform for sustained international growth.
Leadership Perspectives
Rajesh from Cosmic Group said:
“We see One Above as a new-age travel platform that blends strong destination operations with technology-led distribution. This investment reflects our confidence in their team and their vision to build global travel infrastructure.”
Irshad Dadan at One Above added:
“This partnership goes beyond funding. Cosmic Group brings deep experience across hospitality, real estate, and travel. Together, we are building a vertically integrated ecosystem that allows us to expand faster, enter new markets with confidence, and deliver consistent value across the travel supply chain.”
Building the Next Phase of Global Travel Infrastructure
With this strategic backing, One Above is positioning itself at the intersection of destination management, B2B travel technology, and hospitality partnerships — creating a connected global operating framework designed for scale, speed, and long-term sustainability.
