AI-powered traveltech platform The Tarzan Way has raised Rs 2 crore in a new funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, with other participation from Your Trips Limited (UK), PhysicsWallah Founder Prateek Maheshwari, and other angel investors.

The Tarzan Way was founded in 2020 by Shikhar Chadha and Shivank Tripathi. The company uses artificial intelligence to design hyper-personalized, real travel experiences. Its smart booking engine, one-click travel plans, and 24x7 live concierge assistance help the platform revolutionize trip planning into something hassle-free and story-worthy.

The newly raised capital will be used to enhance product development, improve operational efficiencies, scale marketing efforts, grow the team, and launch its upcoming “Exploration App.”

“Our passion lies in helping people create meaningful journeys. We’re not just planning trips we’re crafting stories that stay for a lifetime,” said co-founder Shikhar Chadha.

The startup already demonstrated strong traction, recording 300% year-over-year revenue growth and 70% month-over-month user growth. It has secured more than 35,000 social media fans, achieved 10 million+ views of its content, and recorded Rs 13.5 crore in gross booking value.

India's travel and tourism industry, which currently contributes $199 billion to the GDP, is expected to increase to $512 billion by 2028, providing a perfect opportunity for spaces like The Tarzan Way to flourish.
