The Tarzan Way raises ₹2 crore in seed funding to power AI-driven travel innovation

Travel tech startup The Tarzan Way has raised INR 2 crore in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, with additional participation from Your Trips Limited (UK), PhysicsWallah co-founder Prateek Maheshwari, and other angel investors. The capital will be deployed across product development (35 per cent ), operations (25 per cent ), marketing (20 per cent ), HR and admin (15 per cent ), and miscellaneous areas (5 per cent ).

Founded in 2020 by Shikhar Chadha and Shivank Tripathi, The Tarzan Way combines AI technology with a human-centric approach to offer hyper-personalised and authentic travel experiences. The platform allows users to create detailed, customised itineraries in just a few clicks, supported by a smart booking engine and round-the-clock concierge services.

The latest funding round will also support the launch of its upcoming “Exploration App,” further expanding its offering in the experiential travel space. The company currently operates globally and has clocked a 300 per cent year-on-year revenue growth and a 70 per cent month-on-month increase in user growth. It has processed over INR 13.5 crore in bookings to date and built a strong digital presence with more than 10 million content views.

“As more people venture out to explore the world, the demand for experiential travel — journeys that are immersive, personalised, and meaningful — is rapidly rising,” said Ankur Mittal, Co-founder of Inflection Point Ventures. “Tarzan Way bridges this gap by using AI and technology to create smart, tailored travel experiences that act as a true companion throughout the journey.”

Co-founder Shikhar Chadha added, “We don’t just plan trips; we help people craft stories that stay with them forever. That’s the core spirit behind The Tarzan Way.”

India’s travel and tourism sector, valued at USD 199 billion in 2023, is projected to exceed USD 500 billion by 2028. With its tech-forward model and rising demand for bespoke travel, The Tarzan Way is positioning itself as a disruptor in a rapidly evolving market.
