    Tarun Kumar wins Asia Pacific Travel Buyer of the Year  

    Tarun Kumar, Regional Director Travel and Expense Program (APAC), was named APAC Travel Buyer of the Year.

    The award celebrates outstanding achievement and innovation in managed corporate travel across the Asia Pacific region. Tarun Kumar led the SAP Asia-Pacific-Japan team in a groundbreaking collaboration that resulted in in-market digital enhancement.  

    Through close collaboration, the team enabled a compliant online booking capability in China where standard global tools could not be deployed, overcoming complex regulatory and technical constraints through joint innovation. The result was a scalable model that has been adopted by multiple organisations, reinforcing its significance as a first-of-its-kind achievement in China’s corporate travel ecosystem.
