WanderOn secures Rs 54 Cr Series A funding to scale experiential travel offerings
The company plans to use the new capital to expand its destination portfolio and scale categories that are seeing increased demand, including adventure, sports-focused and wellness travel.
Travel company WanderOn has raised Rs 54 crore in a Series A round led by DSG Consumer Partners and CAAF, marking one of the largest institutional investments in India’s travel and experiences sector.
The company plans to use the new capital to expand its destination portfolio and scale categories that are seeing increased demand, including adventure, sports-focused and wellness travel. It also aims to strengthen its technology infrastructure to streamline the customer journey, from discovery and planning to booking and on-ground coordination.
“Travel today is about connection, people want trips where they can meet like-minded travellers and feel part of something meaningful. We have built around that belief. This fundraise gives us the ability to move faster on destinations, product innovation, and technology, while continuing to put the traveller experience at the centre of everything we do,” Govind Gaur, CEO, WanderOn, said.

Prior to the funding, the company had crossed Rs 100 crore in revenue as a bootstrapped business and recorded year-on-year doubling of growth in the post-pandemic period.
“By strengthening our digital capabilities, we aim to reach travellers across the country, offering a seamless, intuitive end-to-end journey. Also, as India’s outbound travel market gathers momentum, WanderOn is bullish on this shift and is scaling its global portfolio to serve a new generation of Indian travellers with growing international aspirations,” Govind further added.
The company was founded by engineers from NIT Kurukshetra, beginning with informal weekend trips before evolving into structured, curated group travel offerings. To date, WanderOnx has served over one lakh travellers across more than 40 domestic and international destinations, supported by a strong base of repeat users. Its itineraries include Northern Lights expeditions, European summer routes, Formula 1 travel experiences and long-haul adventure trips.
Operating on a direct-to-consumer model, WanderOn designs experiential group travel packages supported by digital engagement. Its revenue model includes pre-booked packages, optional add-on activities and brand partnerships. The company positions itself within India’s expanding experiential tourism segment, which has seen rising interest from younger demographics seeking structured yet socially engaging travel formats.
