Descriptiontext

Atlys is a digital visa processing platform founded in 2021 by former Pinterest engineer Mohak Nahta, headquartered in the US with primary operations in India (Gurugram/New Delhi), and additional offices in Dubai and New York. The company enables individual travelers to apply for visas online to 120+ destinations through a self-serve website and mobile app, supported by an on-time delivery guarantee backed by 100% refund if a visa is delayed. Its underlying technology combines an AI-powered predictive engine (Visa Probability Evaluator), computer vision for document scanning and auto-fill, real-time application tracking, and the Myra agentic trip planner that handles over 55,000 daily conversations across Indian languages.

The platform generates revenue primarily through transaction-based processing fees layered on top of government visa fees (e.g., $5 processing for Malaysia, $50 for China business), supplemented by affiliate referral revenue from embedded forex services (Thomas Cook India) and travel insurance (VisitorsCoverage). The business operates a dual go-to-market motion: a direct-to-consumer product-led growth model for individual travelers and an enterprise channel model through B2B partnerships with travel platforms including MakeMyTrip (a strategic investor), Agoda, and Google Wallet's Aadhaar Verifiable Credentials integration. Approximately 65-70% of customer acquisition is organic, with over 50% of customers returning within 12-15 months.

As of March 2026, Atlys has raised approximately $73.4 million across seed, Series A, Series B, and Series C rounds from Andreessen Horowitz, Peak XV Partners, Elevation Capital, Susquehanna Asia VC, and MakeMyTrip. The company reported FY25 operating revenue of ₹31.84 crore (~$3.8 million), up 3.3x year-over-year, with an annual visa processing run rate exceeding 700,000 applications across more than 120 destinations. Geographic expansion has progressed sequentially from India to the UAE (August 2024), UK (February 2025), with the US and Australia contributing alongside UAE nearly 50% of revenue.
