Bessemer Leads USD 6.7 Mn Series A Round of 30 Sundays

30 Sundays, a holiday planning and booking platform, has secured INR 61 crore (USD 6.7 million approximately) in its Series A funding round, 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 nearly USD 7.5 million.

Founded by Kshitij Chaudhary (Co-founder & CEO; ex-BCG, IIT Delhi) and Anuj Punjani (Co-founder & CTO; ex-Apple), 30 Sundays is an AI-native, full-stack journey planner, owning planning across the discovery and booking stages while providing an on-trip concierge.

The company aims to replace the slow, opaque process of traditional agencies with a video-first, conversational interface that is radically transparent and reassuring.

The company says its profitability has scaled to an annualised gross booking value (GBV) run-rate of approximately INR 200 crore from just four destinations (Bali, Vietnam, Maldives & Thailand) in less than two years of its inception.

“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.” says cofounder and CEO Chaudhary in a statement.

“We have been fortunate to be partners with Kshitij and Anuj since pre-launch and continue doubling down with high conviction. The way they use AI with a human in the loop to customize 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,” Kitty Agarwal, Partner, Info Edge Ventures, adds.
