Traveltech startup Holiday Tribe is in talks to raise around ₹50 crore in a fresh funding round, with RPSG Capital Ventures among the prospective investors, according to Inc42 Tech Bharat. The discussions are ongoing and the round has not been finalised.
The proposed funding could include other investors, but their identities have not been disclosed. The final size of the round, investor participation and terms may change as negotiations continue. Queries sent to Holiday Tribe and RPSG Capital Ventures did not receive a response by the time of publication (Inc42 Tech Bharat).
Founded in 2022 by former MakeMyTrip executives Anshu Sharma and Chirag Goyal, Holiday Tribe offers customised holiday packages for family trips, honeymoons, luxury travel and group holidays. Its platform combines AI-based itinerary planning with support from travel advisers.
The company’s planning tool, Avni, recommends itineraries and supports bookings and customer assistance. Holiday Tribe lists destinations such as Kerala, Bali, Dubai, Japan, Vietnam and several European markets, while customers can also request tailored quotes from travel experts (Holiday Tribe company information).
Holiday Tribe previously raised ₹25 crore in a pre-Series A round in August 2025. That financing included equity and debt, with Powerhouse Ventures leading the round and GSF and undisclosed angel investors participating, according to the company’s funding announcement reported at the time (Holiday Tribe, August 2025).
The startup had earlier raised ₹5.4 crore in seed funding in 2024. It said the 2025 capital would support AI capabilities for personalisation, itinerary optimisation and customer assistance, as well as an expanded supplier network in emerging destinations (Powerhouse Ventures funding information).
The proposed fresh round comes as investors show greater interest in technology platforms that help travellers plan customised holidays. 30 Sundays raised ₹61 crore in a Series A round, while Flipkart invested in travel platform TravClan, according to Inc42’s sector coverage.
Holiday Tribe’s use of the potential funding has not been disclosed. If completed, the round could give the company more capital to improve its AI tools, add travel suppliers and compete in a market where customers increasingly seek personalised planning rather than standard package tours.
