Gurugram-based tech-enabled holiday planning and booking platform 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 startup plans to use the fresh capital to enhance its product offerings, strengthen its technology and AI capabilities, and expand its team. It will also invest in brand building and marketing as it accelerates its expansion into new geographies and customer segments. Having recently launched services in New Zealand and Mauritius, 30 Sundays is now preparing to enter markets such as Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and the Philippines.
According to 30 Sundays, it is an AI-native, full-stack travel planning platform that manages the entire customer journey—from discovery and itinerary planning to bookings, while also offering an on-trip concierge service. The startup said it has achieved an annualised gross booking value (GBV) run rate of around Rs 200 crore across four key 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.
According to this startup, India’s outbound leisure travel market is approximately $25 billion and growing at around 11.4% annually, driven by structural tailwinds: an expanding middle class, easing visa norms for Indian travellers, and the rise of global low-cost carriers.
This startup has been embedding AI across sales and operations, spanning lead qualification, itinerary creation, follow-ups, and reservations and 30 Sundays claimed 2X productivity in the 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.
