The capital will be used to establish on-ground operations in Europe, launch its VOLT platform for European markets, and build local supplier partnerships.
The global B2B travel distribution ecosystem accounts for more than USD 500 billion in annual bookings. Despite this scale, a large part of the market continues to operate on fragmented systems, manual workflows, and spreadsheets, limiting efficiency, visibility, and margin control for independent travel businesses. TravClan addresses this gap through a unified technology and distribution platform designed for scale.
TravClan has established itself as a trusted operating layer for travel entrepreneurs across India, South East Asia and the Middle East, helping them simplify supply chains, improve margins, and scale operations. TravClan continues to see strong traction across its Hotels and Holidays businesses, which together contribute more than 80 per cent of the company’s revenue.
As part of its international expansion, TravClan is deepening investment in VOLT, its API-first platform built for modern, high-volume travel businesses. VOLT functions as a unified connectivity layer across flights, hotels, holidays, and experiences, enabling travel companies to deliver consistent and personalised customer journeys while improving operational efficiency.
Commenting on the expansion, Chirag Agarwal, Co-Founder and COO, TravClan, said, “Travel businesses in Europe face similar challenges we have solved across Asia – fragmented supply, manual operations, and thin margins. We are opening our API platform to European markets and building strong local supplier partnerships.”
Sameer Narula, Managing Director, August One, said, “We back founders who use technology to elevate traditional industries and enable entire ecosystems. By connecting agents, suppliers, and on-ground services in a single platform, TravClan has simplified complex travel planning with speed, reliability, and operational excellence”
Arun Bagaria, Co-Founder and CEO, TravClan, added, “The future of travel isn’t winner-takes-all OTA platforms. It’s millions of entrepreneurs powered by shared infrastructure. We’re using AI to make independent agencies more competitive than ever – giving them the same predictive pricing, personalized recommendations, and operational automation that only billion-dollar OTAs could afford before.”
TravClan has raised over USD 8 million to date and has been recognised as one of LinkedIn’s Top 20 Startups in India for two consecutive years. The company’s expansion into Europe reflects growing demand for a unified operating platform among international travel businesses.
