Travelyaari Accelerates India's Road Travel Revolution with $12M Series A Funding Boost

We are excited to announce that Travelyaari, the flagship brand of Mantis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and India’s largest bus marketplace platform, has successfully raised 12,000,000 in its latest funding round. Since its inception in 2007 by Aurvind Lama, Travelyaari has steadily earned its reputation as “Your friend for the road” by providing innovative and reliable solutions to the bus travel industry. This infusion of capital will accelerate our mission to digitally transform road travel in India and further expand our suite of services beyond our acclaimed bus ticketing platform. In addition to connecting over 15 million customers and successfully selling 140+ million seats over the years, our pioneering efforts have made digitalization a key pillar by integrating 55% of India’s overall bus services through our extensive network of 4,000 operator outlets and 5,000 direct agents. This strategic funding will not only bolster our renowned bus ticketing solutions delivered via our website and Travelyaari Android app, but also empower us to scale up recently launched verticals—hotels, tours, and activities—positioning us as a one-stop solution for all road travel needs. Furthermore, the investment will enhance our enterprise offerings, including the BusCRS platform that supports over 2,000 bus transporters, as well as our global distribution network, IamGDS, which facilitates inventory distribution for various travel aggregators both online and offline. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain deeply grateful to our dedicated employees and dynamic core team whose passion and innovative spirit continue to drive our growth. With this new chapter of expansion, Travelyaari is geared up to redefine travel experiences while maintaining the friendly, empowering culture that has been our hallmark since day one.
