The problem
- Booking a trip still means a dozen tabs: filters that do not understand what you actually want, prices that change between search and checkout, and no one to ask.
- In emerging markets like Pakistan, travellers and local service providers are underserved by global OTAs. Local payment options are limited, there is no local-language support, and there is little inventory for small hotels, guesthouses and service businesses.
- Small providers have no affordable way to reach travellers online. The global platforms charge 15–25% commission and are built for chains.
Our solution
Conversational booking
Describe the trip in plain language. An LLM-powered assistant searches, compares and books, so the traveller never has to wrestle with filters.
Global hotel inventory
Live rates and instant booking for 3.4M+ properties in 220+ countries through our global hotel supplier contract, so we had global coverage from day one.
Why now
- LLMs have finally made natural-language travel search good enough to replace rigid filters, enabling a faster, more personalized booking experience where travelers can explain what they want and let AI find the best options.
Market opportunity
Global online travel bookings, 2026
Online travel in South Asia & the Middle East, 2026 (est.)
Gross bookings reachable in 3 years (0.1% of SAM)
Sources: Phocuswright. Global online gross bookings are forecast at $1.2T for 2026. The Middle East had $101.2B of total travel in 2024, 48% of it online. South Asia is sized from India, its largest market ($47.2B forecast for 2026, 57% online), so Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka come on top. SAM is our 2026 estimate built from those figures. SOM assumes we capture 0.1% of SAM as gross bookings within three years.

Competition & moat
We are not trying to out-inventory the global OTAs. We compete where they are weakest: markets they treat as an afterthought, and travellers who would rather ask than filter.
Our moat
- Millions of programmatic destination pages that already rank and bring organic traffic at near-zero CAC.
- Direct relationships with local providers that global OTAs do not serve.
- Conversation data that improves search and recommendations with every trip planned.
