Gurugram-based traveltech startup 30 Sundays has raised Rs 610 million ($6.7 million) in a Series A round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with existing investors Info Edge Ventures and Eximius Ventures increasing their stakes. The deal brings the startup's total funding to approximately $7.5 million.
Launched in June 2024 by Kshitij Chaudhary and Anuj Punjani, 30 Sundays plans and books overseas holidays for Indian travellers — covering destination discovery, itinerary development, reservations, and on-trip support. The platform currently focuses on couples, including romantic getaways and honeymoons, with plans to expand into family travel.
Customers receive itineraries in a video-based format and can request changes via text or voice commands. An embedded AI concierge provides video guides, restaurant and shopping recommendations, and chat-based assistance during trips, alongside real-time information about crowds, queue times, and food options.
The corridor lens matters here. 30 Sundays has already launched holiday services for New Zealand and Mauritius, and the fresh capital will fund entry into Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and the Philippines — a set of markets that maps directly onto the travel corridors Indian outbound tourists are increasingly exploring.
The company reported an annualised gross booking value run rate of approximately Rs 2 billion across Bali, Vietnam, the Maldives, and Thailand, signalling real traction in the mid-market overseas holiday segment that traditional tour operators have been slow to digitise.
"We built 30 Sundays to make travel honest and effortless," said co-founder and CEO Kshitij Chaudhary. He added that the platform was designed to give travellers personalised itineraries, clearer pricing information, and access to support after arriving at their destination.
Bessemer Venture Partners partner Anant Vidur Puri noted that the founders had redesigned the holiday-booking process, with AI handling discovery, planning, and support while employees stepped in when customers needed human assistance.
The startup will use the Series A capital to deepen its AI and engineering capabilities, expand its team, and invest in marketing and brand building.
