Gurugram-based travel technology startup 30 Sundays has raised Rs 61 crore in a Series A funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors Info Edge Ventures and Eximius Ventures. The company will use the fresh capital to strengthen its AI-powered travel platform, expand internationally, and enhance customer experience.
The startup plans to invest the new funding in product development, technology infrastructure, and artificial intelligence capabilities. Additionally, it will expand its workforce while increasing investments in brand building and marketing to accelerate growth across new markets and customer segments.
After recently launching operations in New Zealand and Mauritius, 30 Sundays is preparing to expand into Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and the Philippines, further strengthening its international presence.
The company describes itself as an AI-native, full-stack holiday planning platform that manages the complete customer journey, from travel discovery and itinerary creation to bookings and on-trip concierge services. According to the startup, it has achieved an annualised gross booking value (GBV) run rate of around Rs 200 crore across its four major destinations—Bali, Vietnam, the Maldives, and Thailand.
“Planning a holiday has too long meant static PDFs, endless follow-ups, and mark-ups you discover only later. We built 30 Sundays to make travel honest and effortless. Every customer gets a trip designed around them, sees exactly what they’re paying for, and has a guide in their pocket the moment they land,” said Kshitij Chaudhary, Co-founder & CEO, 30 Sundays.
The company believes India’s outbound leisure travel market, currently valued at approximately $25 billion, continues to grow at an annual rate of around 11.4%. It attributes this growth to an expanding middle class, relaxed visa policies for Indian travellers, and the increasing availability of international low-cost airlines.
Meanwhile, 30 Sundays has integrated artificial intelligence across its sales and operational workflows, including lead qualification, itinerary creation, customer follow-ups, and reservation management. As a result, the company claims to have achieved 2X productivity within its sales team.
“The way they (30 Sundays) use AI with a human in the loop to customise and support every traveller’s journey has shown remarkable speed of adoption amongst customers. Very few new consumer platforms see their kind of organic and referral numbers so soon,” said Kitty Agarwal, Partner, Info Edge Ventures.
With fresh capital in hand, 30 Sundays aims to strengthen its AI-driven travel planning ecosystem, expand into new international destinations, and capture a larger share of India’s rapidly growing outbound tourism market.
