Delhi-based experiential travel startup Capture A Trip has secured ₹75 lakh in funding from Shark Tank India judges, marking a key milestone for the young brand as it looks to scale beyond its current footprint. The investment values the company at ₹15 crore and was finalised during a recent episode of Shark Tank India Season 5.
Founded by Nitin Khanna and Anurag Singal, Capture A Trip operates in the fast-evolving experiential travel segment, focusing on curated, community-led journeys for first-time travellers and small groups. The brand has built its offerings around safety, affordability and immersive experiences, targeting travellers who seek structured trips to offbeat locations rather than conventional holiday packages.
On the show, the founders pitched for ₹75 lakh in exchange for a 5 percent equity stake, outlining their plans to expand international routes while strengthening their presence across lesser-explored destinations within India. The pitch drew strong interest from the panel, leading to multiple counteroffers and a brief bidding contest.
The final deal saw Kunal Bahl, founder of Titan Capital and former Snapdeal CEO, partner with Mohit Yadav, co-founder and chief executive of personal care brand Minimalist. Together, the two investors agreed to invest the full amount sought, backing the founders’ vision and execution capabilities. Each Shark had initially proposed separate terms before joining forces to close the transaction on mutually agreed conditions.
Capture A Trip plans to deploy the capital towards broadening its destination portfolio, investing in on-ground operations, and enhancing customer experience as demand for experiential and community-based travel continues to rise among younger consumers. The startup also aims to deepen its engagement with repeat travellers while maintaining a strong focus on safety and group dynamics.
The funding comes at a time when experiential travel is gaining traction in India, driven by rising disposable incomes and a growing appetite for curated experiences over traditional tourism. With backing from seasoned consumer and brand-building investors, Capture A Trip is positioning itself to tap into this shift and build a differentiated travel platform for the next generation of explorers.
