Holiday Tribe raises Rs 25 Cr in pre-Series A round

Holiday Tribe, a travel-tech company specialising in leisure holidays, has raised Rs 25 crore (around $2.85 million) in its pre-Series A round led by existing investors Powerhouse Ventures and GSF, along with other angel investors. 

The funding includes both equity and debt. This comes after its seed round of Rs 5.4 crore in September 2024. Since then, the firm claims to have grown more than three times.

The new funds will be used to expand its AI infrastructure, strengthen supplier networks, and improve its mobile and desktop platforms. It plans to enhance real-time personalisation, itinerary optimisation, and customer support. It will also grow its network of hotels and activities to offer travellers more customised options.

Founded by Anshu Sharma and Chirag Goyal, Holiday Tribe has curated holidays to more than 30 global destinations. Its supply network covers over 100,000 hotels and 1 million activities worldwide. It has also partnered with tourism boards in countries like Abu Dhabi, Mauritius, Dubai, Switzerland, and Singapore.

The startup aims to reach Rs 500 crore in annualised GMV within the next 18–24 months. It focuses on delivering personalised, easy holiday experiences for Indian travellers.

Earlier today, luxury vacation rental platform ELIVAAS raised Rs 87 crore (approximately $10 million) in Series B funding led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India.
