The fresh capital will help the company strengthen its AI-driven travel platform, expand internationally, and enhance its product offerings.
The latest investment marks a significant milestone for the startup, which had previously raised $770,000. With growing demand for personalized travel experiences and AI-powered trip planning, 30 Sundays is positioning itself to become a leading player in the premium travel technology segment.
Funding to Accelerate Product Development and Global Expansion
According to the company, the newly raised capital will be deployed across several strategic initiatives.
30 Sundays plans to expand its product portfolio, strengthen its technology infrastructure and artificial intelligence capabilities, grow its workforce, and increase investments in branding and marketing. The company will also use the funds to enter new geographies and serve a broader range of customer segments.
The investment comes as the startup scales operations to meet rising demand for customized international travel experiences.
Building AI-Powered Romantic Travel Experiences
Founded in 2024 by Kshitij Chaudhary and Anuj Punjani, 30 Sundays specializes in customized romantic holidays and honeymoon travel packages.
The startup leverages generative AI to automate key stages of the travel planning process, including itinerary creation, customer qualification, and booking management. By integrating artificial intelligence into its operations, the company aims to simplify travel planning while delivering highly personalized experiences for couples.
Its technology-driven approach enables faster trip customization, improved customer engagement, and greater operational efficiency.
Expansion Plans Across Emerging International Destinations
Following its recent expansion into New Zealand and Mauritius, 30 Sundays is preparing to enter several new international markets.
The company plans to launch operations in Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and the Philippines, expanding its portfolio of curated destinations for honeymooners and leisure travellers.
The geographic expansion aligns with the startup’s strategy of catering to Indian travelers seeking unique international experiences beyond traditional tourist destinations.
AI Integration Drives Higher Productivity
30 Sundays has embedded artificial intelligence across multiple business functions, extending beyond customer-facing services.
According to the company, AI now supports lead qualification, itinerary generation, customer follow-ups, and reservation management. This automation has helped the startup achieve a twofold increase in sales team productivity, enabling it to serve more customers efficiently while maintaining personalized service.
The company believes continued investment in AI will further enhance operational efficiency and improve the overall customer experience.
Reaches ₹200 Crore Annualised Gross Booking Value
The startup said it has achieved an annualised Gross Booking Value (GBV) run rate of approximately ₹200 crore, driven by strong demand across destinations such as Bali, Vietnam, the Maldives, and Thailand.
The milestone highlights rapid business growth within a relatively short period since the company’s launch in 2024. Rising outbound travel demand, coupled with increasing consumer preference for personalized travel planning, has created favorable conditions for AI-enabled travel platforms.
AI and Personalization Reshape the Travel Industry
The funding round reflects growing investor confidence in startups leveraging artificial intelligence to modernize the travel industry.
As travelers increasingly seek customized itineraries and seamless digital experiences, companies using AI for trip planning, booking automation, and customer engagement are attracting significant investor interest.
With fresh funding from Bessemer Venture Partners, an expanding international footprint, and a technology-first approach, 30 Sundays is well positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for personalized travel experiences. The company plans to continue investing in AI, expand into new destinations, and strengthen its presence in India’s fast-growing outbound travel market.
