Capture A Trip Gets INR 75 Lakh on Shark Tank India to Grow Youth Travel
Capture A Trip (CAT), a travel startup in Delhi, landed INR 75 lakh from the Shark Tank India judges, an event that will help them grow. The investment values the company at INR 15 crore and should help CAT grow its international trips and also reinforce its presence in India’s unique travel spots.
The deal happened on a recent Shark Tank India Season 5 episode. The founders, Nitin Khanna and Anurag Singhal, shared the brand’s community-led travel idea. They wanted INR 75 lakh for 5% of their company, which got the panel interested fast.
Kunal Bahl and Mohit Yadav invested together at the valuation asked. The sharks liked the brand’s fast growth, clear position in the youth travel area, and its focus on safety, trust, and first-time travelers.
Started to make travel easy, social, and experiential for young Indians, Capture A Trip works as a brand that sells directly to customers. They plan group trips all over India and other countries. The company has become popular by focusing on first-time travelers, solo travelers, and young pros who want community and good trips instead of regular tour deals.
Different from old travel companies, CAT is like a movement inside India’s growing D2C world. Their trips should be fun and inviting, mixing local stuff, safe planning, and travel groups. This way, the brand got known by word-of-mouth among young travelers who care more about experiences than things.
With the new funds, Capture A Trip wants to grow its international routes, add new trip choices, and get bigger in less known parts of India. The money will also help them grow, partner with suppliers, and build the brand since they want to get more of India’s fast-growing youth travel market.
India’s travel market is seeing a change toward D2C brands that think about the community first. This comes from changing customers, online info, and more people wanting cool experiences. Capture A Trip’s support from Shark Tank is not just money but also shows they’re good as they compete with travel startups.
For the founders, the investment means more than just money. It shows that D2C brands based on experiences can grow by building trust, community, and customer recall.
As Capture A Trip grows, the brand hopes to lead how young Indians experience travel in India and other countries.
