WanderOn, a travel company catering to Gen Z and millennial travellers, announced its Rs 54 crore fund raise in its Series A round led by DSG Consumer Partners and Client Associates Alternate Fund (CAAF) on January 20.

The company plans to expand its destination portfolio, strengthen high-demand categories such as adventure, sports-led and wellness travel, and invest further in technology to enhance the entire traveller journey, from discovery and planning to booking and on-ground experiences.

This shift has been accelerated by pop culture, with movies like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara romanticising experiences like La Tomatina and scuba diving, and shows like Emily in Paris celebrating fashion and culinary explorations, shaping how young travellers imagine journeys built around iconic activities, shared moments, and personal growth.

“Travel today is about connection, people want trips where they can meet like-minded travellers and feel part of something meaningful. This fundraise gives us the ability to move faster on destinations, product innovation, and technology, while continuing to put the traveller experience at the centre of everything we do,” said Govind Gaur, CEO, WanderOn.

“By strengthening our digital capabilities, we aim to reach travellers across the country, offering a seamless, intuitive end-to-end journey. Also, as India’s outbound travel market gathers momentum, WanderOn is bullish on this shift and is scaling its global portfolio to serve a new generation of Indian travellers with growing international aspirations,” Gaur added.

The platform has over 1 lakh travellers across more than 40 domestic and international destinations.

Founded by a group of engineers from NIT Kurukshetra who bonded over travel, WanderOn which worked on a bootstrapped model scaled to over Rs 100 crore business, while doubling year-on-year in the post-Covid period.
