Bucketlistt.com, an Ahmedabad-based marketplace for booking adventure and cultural experiences, has raised Rs 7.6 crore in a seed round led by Kairon Capital. Titan Capital, Divisa Family Office and Kunal Popat also participated. The company did not disclose its valuation.
The round comes about five months after a pre-seed of Rs 1.07 crore, announced in June 2026, at a post-money valuation of Rs 10.07 crore. That round was backed by angels including Arvind Choudhar, Aenik Shah, Kartik Khatri and Yash Mehta.

Where the Money Goes
The startup will put the capital into technology and product, onboard more operators, and expand beyond Rishikesh, starting with Manali and Bir. Part of it will go into content, organic discovery and distribution partnerships.
That order matters. Bucketlistt launched in Rishikesh in December 2025 and the city is still its main market, so expansion is the test of whether the model travels rather than a growth headline.
What Bucketlistt Sells
The platform lists verified experiences across India. Skydiving in Mount Abu, front-row seats at the Ganga Aarti in Rishikesh, dinner with royal families in Jaipur, plus bungee jumping, river rafting, paragliding, hot air ballooning and ziplining.
Bookings work on a part-payment model. Travellers pay 10% of the price upfront and the rest on site, which lowers the commitment for a customer who is still deciding and keeps cash collection with the operator.
The company was founded in 2025 by Shubham Makhecha, Nitant Desai and Divyam Shah. Makhecha and Desai are chartered accountants, and Makhecha ranked 36th all India in the CA examination. He is also a certified paragliding pilot and trek leader who has guided more than 3,000 participants, according to the company’s earlier announcement.
OkGhumo Is the Real Business
Alongside the consumer marketplace, Bucketlistt runs OkGhumo, software that experience providers use to manage bookings, inventory, agents, payments and daily operations. The company calls it an operating system for experience providers.
It launched in March 2026 and has served more than 50,000 customers. Adventure operators in Rishikesh use it to handle vendor onboarding, ticket tracking with real-time seat availability, agent settlements, commission tracking and automated revenue and GST reporting for activities such as rafting, camping and paragliding.
The crucial detail is that OkGhumo feeds live inventory into Bucketlistt.com. That is why a traveller gets an instant confirmation instead of a callback, and it is why the marketplace can scale without hiring a call centre for every city.
This is the part of the business that looks defensible. A consumer listing site competes on marketing spend. A booking system used daily by the operators controls supply, and supply is what limits experience marketplaces everywhere.
The Numbers So Far
Bucketlistt and OkGhumo together handled more than Rs 22.5 crore in bookings over the last 10 months, the company said. That works out to roughly Rs 2.25 crore a month.
At the time of the pre-seed round in June, the company had reported more than Rs 10 crore in bookings. So the run rate has roughly doubled in five months, though the absolute base is still small.
The competition is not small. Klook, GetYourGuide and Viator are global platforms with supplier networks built over a decade, and Alyve competes in the same Indian segment. Bucketlistt’s edge is depth in a few destinations rather than breadth across many.
What to Watch
Three things will decide whether this seed round was a step or a ceiling. The first is Manali and Bir. If the Rishikesh playbook, which pairs a tourist hub with operator software, works in two more cities, the model is repeatable.
The second is the ratio of marketplace revenue to software revenue. A business that earns from bookings carries seasonal risk. A business that earns a software fee from operators carries far less.
The third is the take rate. Rs 22.5 crore in bookings is a useful number, but what the company keeps from it is the number that matters, and Bucketlistt has not disclosed it.
