- 30 Sundays raised Rs 61 crore in a Series A funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with existing investors Info Edge Ventures and Eximius Ventures participating.
- The AI-native travel platform will use the capital to enhance product offerings, strengthen technology and AI capabilities, expand its team, and invest in brand building and marketing.
- After launching in New Zealand and Mauritius, 30 Sundays is preparing to enter Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and the Philippines beyond its four core destinations of Bali, Vietnam, the Maldives, and Thailand.
- The startup has hit an annualized gross booking value (GBV) run rate of around Rs 200 crore and claims 2X sales productivity gains from AI embedded across lead qualification, itinerary creation, follow-ups, and reservations.
- CEO Kshitij Chaudhary positioned 30 Sundays as a 'full-stack travel planning platform' managing the entire journey from discovery and itinerary planning to bookings and on-trip concierge, replacing 'static PDFs, endless follow-ups, and mark-ups.'
- Kitty Agarwal, Partner at Info Edge Ventures, said the company's 'AI with a human in the loop' model has driven 'remarkable speed of adoption amongst customers' and strong organic and referral numbers.
Why it matters: Bessemer leading a Rs 61 crore round gives institutional weight to an AI-native travel platform hitting a Rs 200 crore GBV run rate in India's $25 billion outbound market — and 30 Sundays' 2X productivity claim and planned entry into four new countries will test whether the full-stack, AI-driven model travels beyond its four current destinations.
