Our Story
From a simple idea to a luxury travel revolution
The Beginning of TravelAdda
TravelAdda was born out of a personal frustration experienced by our founder, Rajiv Sharma. After years of traveling the world and encountering the disconnect between marketing promises and actual experiences, he envisioned a travel company that would prioritize authenticity and excellence.
In 2010, in a small office in Mumbai, TravelAdda began its journey with just three dedicated employees. Our first clients were friends and family, who soon became our most enthusiastic advocates. The word spread, and our commitment to exceptional service became our signature in the industry.
Our Mission
"To transform travel from a mere journey into a collection of profound experiences, crafted with precision and delivered with heart."
Authenticity
We believe in real experiences that connect travelers with the soul of a destination, beyond touristic facades.
Excellence
Every detail matters. We strive for perfection in service, accommodations, and experiences that exceed expectations.
Sustainability
Luxury and responsibility can coexist. We promote travel that respects and preserves the destinations we cherish.
Our Journey Through the Years
The Beginning
TravelAdda was founded by Rahul Sharma and Priya Patel, two passionate travelers with a vision to transform luxury travel in India. Starting from a small office in Mumbai, they began curating unique experiences for discerning travelers.
Expansion Across India
After initial success in Mumbai, TravelAdda expanded operations to Delhi, Bangalore, and other major Indian cities. Our network of luxury partners grew, allowing us to offer exclusive experiences throughout the subcontinent.
International Ventures
TravelAdda took its first steps into international markets, establishing partnerships with luxury resorts and experiences in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. This marked our transition from a local luxury curator to a global travel brand.
Navigating Challenges
During the global pandemic, we pivoted to focus on virtual experiences and sustainable, private travel options. This period reinforced our commitment to personalized service and strengthened our relationships with our partners and clients.
Digital Transformation
We launched our innovative digital platform, combining technology with human expertise to create seamless luxury travel experiences. This technology allowed us to better understand our clients' preferences and craft truly personalized journeys.
