Travel experiences platform Bucketlistt.com has raised Rs 7.6 crore in a seed funding round led by Kairon Capital, adding another early-stage deal to startup funding in India on Monday, 26 October 2026.
Who backed the round
The round saw participation from Titan Capital, Divisa Family Office and Kunal Popat. Bucketlistt had earlier raised Rs 1.07 crore in a pre-seed angel round at a post-money valuation of Rs 10.07 crore.
What Bucketlistt does
Founded in 2025 by Shubham Makhecha, Nitant Desai and Divyam Shah, Bucketlistt helps travellers discover and book verified travel experiences across India, from skydiving in Mt. Abu to front-row seats at the Ganga Aarti in Rishikesh and dinner with royal families in Jaipur. The company launched in Rishikesh in December 2025.
Alongside the marketplace, it runs OkGhumo, an operating platform that experience providers use to manage bookings, inventory, agents, payments and daily operations. That second product is the quieter half of the story: it turns one-off experience sellers into organised, bookable businesses.
Where the money goes
The fresh funds will strengthen technology and product, onboard more high-quality operators, and expand beyond Rishikesh, starting with Manali and Bir, alongside investment in content, organic discovery and distribution partnerships.
For founders building marketplaces, Bucketlistt's playbook is worth noting: solve the supply side's operations problem first, and the consumer marketplace gets better inventory, fewer cancellations and more word of mouth as a result.
Why it matters for founders
In fragmented markets like experiences and travel, trust is the product. A verified marketplace plus an operator tool that raises supply quality is a stronger moat than a booking app alone.
