Holiday Tribe, a travel-tech startup focused on leisure holidays, has secured ₹25 crore (approx. $2.85 million) in its Pre-Series A funding round led by existing backers Powerhouse Ventures and GSF, alongside participation from other angel investors.
The round comprised both equity and debt, and follows the company’s ₹5.4 crore seed raise in September 2024. Since that round, the company claims to have achieved over 3x growth.
The fresh capital will be deployed to enhance the company’s proprietary AI infrastructure, strengthen supplier networks, and upgrade its mobile and desktop platforms.
Founded by Anshu Sharma and Chirag Goyal in 2023, Holiday Tribe has built a global leisure travel offering with curated experiences across 30+ destinations. Its network spans over 100,000 hotels and 1 million activities worldwide, with partnerships with tourism boards in countries such as Abu Dhabi, Mauritius, Dubai, Switzerland, and Singapore.
