Travel tech startup 30 Sundays raises $770K in pre-seed round

30 Sundays, an AI-first travel agent, has raised $770,000 in its pre-seed round led by Infoedge Ventures with participation from First Cheque, Eximius, Misfits, and other angel investors.

The proceeds will be used to open more destinations, including the European market and long-haul trips. It will also strengthen its AI and data capabilities to scale faster with excellent customer experience.

Founded in 2022 by Kshitij Chaudhary and Anuj, 30Sundays uses generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to streamline operations, automating tasks like collecting customer information and updating itineraries. It also uses AI to analyse calls and reviews at scale to gather customer insights.

By integrating generative AI into their sales, operations, and marketing, 30 Sundays claims to achieve up to 5x efficiency improvements. This technology allows the firm to handle more customers without compromising on service quality—a common issue in traditional travel agencies that rely heavily on large teams.

According to a report by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), India’s outbound tourism market is expected to reach $18.8 billion in 2024 and soar to $55.4 billion by 2034, growing at an annual rate of over 11%.
