Tripoto Travel Private Limited

What Tripoto Travel Private Limited does

Tripoto Travel Private Limited, incorporated in India in 2013 (CIN U63030DL2013PTC256239) and headquartered in New Delhi, operates a travel community and marketplace platform positioned as 'India's Largest Community of Travellers'. The platform combines user-generated content — itineraries, trip blogs, photoblogs, destination reviews, and community forums — with a transactional marketplace for curated tour packages across domestic Indian destinations (e.g., Rajasthan) and international destinations (Australia, Europe, Bali, Dubai, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea). Users can plan trips via a web platform or native iOS and Android applications, publish their own itineraries, upload photos/videos, and convert existing blog content into structured itineraries through a dedicated import tool. The product surface also includes travel guides, weekend getaway curation, and a 'Places to Visit' discovery feature organized by interest verticals (beaches, mountains, heritage, wildlife, road trips, luxury).

Tripoto's business model is multi-stream: (1) transaction fees and convenience fees on tour package bookings fulfilled by a network of 'Tripoto Verified Partners' and 'Tripoto Travel Partner' agents (who access the platform via a dedicated B2B agent portal), (2) sponsored content and advertising revenue from tourism boards and travel brands — including Singapore Tourism Board, Tourism Thailand, Hong Kong Tourism Board, Visit Queensland, Resorts World Sentosa, and South Korea Tourism — through destination marketing campaigns, sponsored content series, and influencer collaborations, and (3) a credits-based engagement system that encourages repeat bookings. The company's customer base spans individual travelers across use-case segments (couples, adventure seekers, budget travelers, luxury travelers) and B2B partners (tourism boards, travel agents). The platform has raised approximately $8M across five disclosed funding rounds from 2014 to 2019, with the last round (April 2019, $3.7M Series A) led by Orchid India alongside 3one4 Capital and Chiratae Ventures. The company is led by co-founders Anirudh Gupta (CEO) and Michael Pargal Lyngdoh.
