Escape Plan, a travel accessories startup redefining modern mobility essentials, has raised $5 million in a seed funding round.
The round was co-led by Jungle Ventures, through its FirstCheque@Jungle initiative, and Fireside Ventures, with additional participation from several prominent D2C-focused angel investors.
The Bengaluru-based brand plans to utilise the fresh capital to expand its product categories and inventory, forge partnerships with top lifestyle brands, and deepen its presence in the quick commerce space. The funds will also fuel its retail expansion strategy across India.
Founded in 2025 by Abhinav Pathak (co-founder of Perpule, later acquired by Amazon for $14.5 million) and Abhinav Zutshi (former COO at Landmark Group), Escape Plan aims to modernise travel essentials with a blend of functional design, fast delivery, and omnichannel accessibility. The founding duo brings extensive experience in ecommerce, retail, and consumer product innovation.
Currently operating physical stores in 6–7 cities, Escape Plan is targeting a rapid scale-up to 100+ locations over the next two years.

The company is also set to launch its own ecommerce platform, supporting a full-stack omnichannel model that includes offline retail, D2C channels, marketplaces, and sub-2-hour quick commerce delivery for key travel products.
Escape Plan’s curated product lineup includes luggage, backpacks, slings, organizers, and passport covers—focused on modular design and collaborative drops. The company is also investing in its supply chain, logistics, and fulfilment infrastructure to cater to impulse-driven travel needs in real time.
