Bucketlistt, a platform for booking travel experiences, has raised Rs 7.6 crore in a funding round led by Kairon Capital.
The startup plans to use the fresh capital in three areas. It will strengthen its technology and product, onboard more experience providers onto the platform, and expand into new cities.
Manali and Bir are the first destinations on the expansion list. Both are hill towns in Himachal Pradesh. Their selection signals a push beyond the large metro markets and into smaller travel destinations.
Onboarding more experience providers is central to the plan. For a marketplace of this kind, the range and number of providers in each location shape what a traveller can book. Opening new cities therefore depends on bringing local providers onto the platform alongside the product work.
The company has not made public some details of the round, including its valuation, the name of the round and whether other investors took part. Kairon Capital is the only investor named as part of the financing.
The raise adds to the capital flowing into startups that focus on travel experiences rather than only transport and accommodation bookings. For Bucketlistt, the immediate test will be how quickly it can add providers and launch in Manali and Bir.
