What Funstay does

Funstay is a Bengaluru-headquartered direct-to-consumer travel agency founded in 2015 that curates and sells pre-built vacation packages, small-group fixed-departure trips, and bespoke itineraries to Indian outbound and domestic leisure travelers. The company operates across 121+ destinations in 40+ countries, with primary markets in Southeast Asia (Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore), Mauritius, the UAE (Yas Island), and Indian destinations including Goa, Kerala, Rajasthan, Leh Ladakh, and the Andamans. Its core product surface spans travel packages categorized by style (honeymoon, family, adventure, cultural, wellness) and budget tier, scheduled group departures from six Indian cities with local guides, and a custom trip planning service accessed via online inquiry forms and followed up by an inside-sales team.

The company monetizes through per-package transaction fees, with all-inclusive bundles spanning accommodation, transfers, activities, and sometimes international flights; packages are priced from approximately ₹19,000 for short budget trips to ₹1,54,000 for premium extended itineraries. Distribution is primarily via its own website (funstay.in) supplemented by content marketing (blog, SEO-driven destination pages, email newsletter) and channel partnerships with airlines (Air India, Air Asia), hotel groups (Marriott, IHG, Taj, Millennium), and tourism boards (Singapore Tourism Board, Yas Island). The technology stack is standard e-commerce with no disclosed proprietary features, AI capabilities, APIs, or mobile applications.

Funstay is a privately held, founder-owned business with 20+ employees, no disclosed external funding or institutional investors, and operations centered on its Bengaluru headquarters with a secondary presence in Mumbai. As of 2025, the company claims to have served over 50,000 travelers with a 98% customer satisfaction rate and 4.9/5 Google rating, supported by a team that includes a MICE expert and dedicated product, customer success, and sales functions. Its competitive positioning centers on curated, small-group experiences (8–16 travelers per departure) and 24/7 trip support, differentiating from mass-market online travel agencies.

Cleartrip: Indian OTA offering flights, hotels, and packaged holidays. Comparable in serving Indian travelers booking outbound trips, though broader in scope (no specialization in curated group travel).
Thomas Cook India: Long-established Indian travel company offering holiday packages, group tours, visa services, and forex. Comparable in serving Indian outbound travelers across many of the same destinations (Mauritius, Bali, Thailand, Europe).
Goibibo: Major Indian OTA owned by MakeMyTrip group offering flights, hotels, and holiday packages. Comparable in serving Indian outbound leisure travelers with package offerings.
MakeMyTrip: India's largest online travel company offering flights, hotels, holiday packages, and group tours across global destinations. Comparable because it dominates the same Indian outbound package and custom-itinerary market Funstay targets, though at vastly greater scale.
