Bucketlistt.com Closes $890 K to Expand Travel Experiences Marketplace

The company plans to use the fresh capital to improve its technology, expand its network of experience providers and reach more travellers across India. The startup is also preparing to expand its operations beyond Rishikesh, with Manali and Bir among its next destinations.

Funding Details

The seed round was led by Kairon Capital, with participation from Titan Capital, Divisa Family Office and Kunal Popat.

In January 2026, Bucketlistt.com raised Rs 1.07 crore in a pre-seed angel funding round at a post-money valuation of Rs 10.07 crore. The earlier round included angel investors Arvind Choudhar, Aenik Shah, Kartik Khatri and Yash Mehta.

The latest funding will support the company's efforts to improve its booking platform, strengthen its business operations and expand into additional travel destinations.

About Bucketlistt.com and Its Platform

Founded in 2025 by Shubham Makhecha, Nitant Desai and Divyam Shah, Bucketlistt.com connects travellers with verified adventure activities, cultural experiences and curated local activities across India.

The platform helps users discover and book experiences through a single marketplace. Its services are designed to make it easier for travellers to find activities and reserve available slots.

The company launched in Rishikesh in December 2025. It is building its business around two connected platforms: Bucketlistt.com, which serves travellers, and OkGhumo, which provides digital management tools for experience operators.

How Will Bucketlistt.com Use the Funding?

Bucketlistt.com plans to invest the new capital in several areas:

• Technology development: Improve its booking systems and overall product experience.
• Provider onboarding: Bring more adventure operators and local experience providers onto its platform.
• Geographical expansion: Enter new destinations, starting with Manali and Bir.
• Customer acquisition: Invest in content, organic discovery and distribution partnerships to reach more travellers.
• Business operations: Expand OkGhumo and provide more operators with digital tools to manage their daily activities.

The company aims to connect travellers with available experiences while helping operators manage bookings and inventory more efficiently.

Business Growth and Market Traction

According to company-reported figures, Bucketlistt.com and OkGhumo have managed more than Rs 22.5 crore in bookings during their first 10 months of operations.

Bucketlistt.com has served more than 12,000 customers, with approximately one in five customers coming through word-of-mouth referrals. The company also reported that OkGhumo has served more than 50,000 customers since its launch.

These figures indicate the company's early traction in the travel experiences market. However, the reported booking value should not be interpreted as revenue, as the company has not provided a corresponding revenue figure in the information available.

Leadership Comments

"Travel has three layers: where you stay, how you get there and what you do once you arrive. The first two have moved online much faster; experiences remain far more fragmented. That is the gap we are solving.

Our whole team shifted to Rishikesh to stay closer to our customers and operators," said Shubham Makhecha, co-founder of Bucketlistt.com.

Makhecha added, “With Kairon Capital leading this round and Titan Capital and Divisa Family Office joining us, we have partners who share our ambition to make Bucketlistt.com the most trusted place to discover and book experiences in India.”

What Happens Next?

Following its initial launch in Rishikesh, Bucketlistt.com plans to expand into Manali and Bir. The company will focus on onboarding more experience providers, improving its booking technology and building distribution partnerships.

It also plans to expand OkGhumo into additional destinations, giving local operators digital tools to manage bookings, inventory and payments.

Through its consumer marketplace and business management platform, Bucketlistt.com aims to build a connected system for discovering, booking and managing travel experiences across India.
