TravelTriangle is a technology company.
TravelTriangle operates as an online holiday marketplace, directly connecting travelers with a network of verified local travel agents to curate customized tour packages. The platform provides a technological framework that streamlines the process of planning, comparing, and booking personalized itineraries, integrating various aspects of the travel experience into a single user-friendly interface.

The company was established in 2011 by Sankalp Agarwal, Sanchit Garg, and Prabhat Gupta, all graduates of IIT. Their founding insight stemmed from personal experiences and observations regarding the complexities and lack of personalization often encountered in the traditional holiday planning sector. Recognizing a gap for a more transparent and efficient system, they set out to build a platform that would empower both travelers and local experts.
TravelTriangle primarily serves individuals and groups desiring bespoke travel experiences, ranging from honeymoons to adventure trips, both domestically and internationally. The company's vision involves continuously developing its holiday ecosystem through technological innovation, aiming to further enhance the customization capabilities and overall convenience for its users.

TravelTriangle is India's leading online holiday marketplace, founded in 2011 as a technology-driven platform that connects travelers with over 650 trusted local travel agents across more than 65 global destinations.[1][2][4] It serves holiday seekers—couples, families, solo travelers, and groups—by solving the problem of unreliable travel agents and poor customization through a competitive bidding system where agents propose tailored itineraries based on user preferences, budgets, and needs, ensuring transparent pricing and high-quality experiences.[1][3][4] The platform uses proprietary SaaS software to match requests, track fulfillment, and maintain customer satisfaction, with a reported 97% positive traveler quotient; it has facilitated trips for over a million tourists and raised $12 million in Series C funding in 2018 from investors like Fundamentum.[2][4][5]
TravelTriangle emerged from a personal frustration during a 2010 trip to Leh by co-founders Sankalp Agarwal, Prabhat Gupta, and Sanchit Garg, who were cheated by untrustworthy travel agents despite their passion for science, innovation, and travel.[1][2] Backgrounds in technology and innovation drove them to build a solution amid a recession, launching India's first online travel marketplace in 2011 under Holiday Triangle Travel Private Limited, based in Gurugram (formerly Noida).[1][2][3][4] Early traction came from a two-sided marketplace model: travelers post requests, vetted agents compete with rated proposals, and payments occur on-platform with service assurances, scaling through user acquisition and tech refinements like intuitive matching and invoicing.[2][4][7]
TravelTriangle rides the digital transformation of India's fragmented, offline travel industry, timing its 2011 launch with rising internet penetration and post-recession demand for personalized, affordable holidays.[2][4] Market forces like growing middle-class tourism, smartphone adoption, and preference for customized over standardized packages favor its marketplace model, bridging travelers with local expertise amid competition from players like TripFactory and TravClan.[3] It influences the ecosystem by professionalizing offline agents through tech tools, enabling data-driven scaling, and pushing transparency in a sector prone to opacity, while expanding the online holiday segment.[1][7]
TravelTriangle's focus on tech-enabled personalization and agent empowerment positions it for sustained growth in a rebounding global travel market, potentially through further product diversification like AI-driven recommendations or international expansion.[2][6] Trends such as experiential travel, sustainable tourism, and embedded fintech for seamless payments will shape its path, evolving its influence from India-centric disruptor to regional leader—building on its foundational mission to create happy traveler memories.[1][4]
