30 Sundays Raises INR 61 Crore Series A Led by Bessemer Venture Partners to Scale Its AI-Native Travel Platform

· Funding · StartupTalky

30 Sundays, an AI-native holiday planning and booking platform, has raised INR 61 crore (~$6.7 million) in its Series A, led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with existing investors Info Edge Ventures and Eximius Ventures increasing their stake. The round takes the total capital raised to date to ~$7.5 million. 30 Sundays is an AI-native, full-stack journey planner, owning planning across the discovery and booking stages while providing an on-trip concierge. This replaces the slow, opaque process of traditional agencies with a video-first, conversational interface that is radically transparent and reassuring. The customer love for this product is evident through its NPS of 67 and Google rating of 4.6. Built in just two years and with notable capital efficiency, the company has profitably scaled to an annualised gross booking value (GBV) run-rate of approximately ₹200 crore from just four destinations (Bali, Vietnam, Maldives & Thailand). The company was founded byKshitij Chaudhary(Co-founder & CEO; ex-BCG, IIT Delhi) andAnuj Punjani(Co-founder & CTO; ex-Apple), with a core team drawn from Flipkart, Jabong, OYO, Travel Triangle, and Shuttl. 30 Sundays serves the “do-it-for-me” traveller, someone who wants a beautifully planned holiday with a single point of contact, not a dozen browser tabs. For them, the experience has stayed broken for years: slow PDF itineraries over email, misselling, scattered discovery, and no real support once the trip begins. 30 Sundays rebuilds all of it. Customers receive their itinerary in a video-first format and make changes simply by chatting or speaking. It also enables trip planning in an informed manner for the customer. For instance, the app surfaces honest reviews for many aspects of every place, from expected crowds and travel time to queue times and food options. This enables customers to plan around their preferences and genuine constraints, not marketing or hype. On the trip, an in-app AI concierge offers video guides, real-time restaurant and shopping recommendations, and AI chat support. It all ladders up to one promise: honest travel, with no asterisks. Couples are the core TG for 30 Sundays as it forays into the recreational travel market, as they are the segment with the sharpest unmet need. Couples increasingly want the sort of distinctive stays and experiences they discover on Instagram, which traditional travel agents are unable to offer. Winning this segment first gives the company a strong base to expand into adjacent ones over time, starting with families travelling with children. By embedding AI across sales and operations, spanning lead qualification, itinerary creation, follow-ups, and reservations, 30 Sundays runs far leaner than conventional players. Its sales team is 2x more productive than top competitors and 3x more productive than traditional travel agents, enabling profitable growth while keeping the human relationship at the centre of every trip. India’s outbound leisure travel market is a
