Bengaluru-based travel products platform Escape Plan has raised $25 million in a Series A funding round led by Jungle Ventures. The round also saw participation from Fireside Ventures and strategic investor IndiGo Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of IndiGo. The funding marks a significant milestone for the young company as it prepares to scale its presence across India and explore select international markets.
This latest investment builds on the company’s earlier $5 million funding round raised in July last year. That round was led by Jungle Ventures through its First Cheque@Jungle initiative, with participation from Fireside Ventures and several angel investors. The continued backing from existing investors highlights confidence in Escape Plan’s business model and growth trajectory.
Focus on Brand, Pricing, and Wider Reach
Escape Plan plans to deploy the new capital to strengthen its brand positioning, pricing strategy, and distribution capabilities. A major focus will be expanding its omni-channel presence across India, covering metros as well as tier I and tier II cities. The company intends to deepen its reach through both digital and offline channels to meet rising demand from travellers across diverse regions.
As part of this strategy, Escape Plan is set to significantly expand its physical retail footprint. The company aims to scale its network to more than 200 stores, improving accessibility for customers and increasing visibility across key travel hubs and high-traffic corridors. Availability at major transit points is expected to play a critical role in driving brand recall and sales.

Built for the Modern Indian Traveller
Founded in 2025 by Abhinav Pathak and Abhinav Zutshi, Escape Plan was created to address the evolving needs of the modern Indian traveller. The platform focuses on curating and creating travel products designed for a wide range of use cases, including luggage, accessories, and mobility solutions.
The company operates through a multi-channel model that includes online marketplaces, its direct-to-consumer platform, and a rapidly expanding offline retail network. This approach allows Escape Plan to engage customers at multiple touchpoints, from digital discovery to in-store experience.
Strong Revenue Momentum
Escape Plan reports that it is currently operating at an annualised revenue run rate of over Rs 300 crore. The growth is driven by demand across cities, sales channels, and a broad spectrum of travel needs. The company’s performance reflects the growing appetite for quality travel gear as domestic and outbound travel continue to gain momentum.
In addition to strengthening its domestic presence, Escape Plan plans to enter select international geographies. These markets will be aligned with Indian outbound travel patterns, allowing the brand to follow its core customer base beyond India while maintaining a focused expansion strategy.
Investing in Technology and Product Innovation
A portion of the Series A funding will be directed towards strengthening Escape Plan’s technological capabilities. The company aims to build deeper control across its value chain by investing in core technology systems that improve speed, availability, and consistency across channels.
Technology investments will also support product innovation. Escape Plan plans to advance its design-led approach while incorporating sustainability-focused materials into its offerings. These efforts are intended to enhance product differentiation and ensure long-term relevance in a competitive market.
Operating in a Competitive Market
Escape Plan sells a mix of in-house and partner-manufactured products through its own platform. It operates in India’s fast-growing travel gear market, competing with other direct-to-consumer brands such as Mokobara, Nasher Miles, Uppercase, and Acefour Accessories.
With fresh capital, expanding distribution, and a clear focus on technology and product development, Escape Plan is positioning itself to capture a larger share of the travel products market. The Series A round provides the resources needed to scale operations while staying aligned with the needs of today’s travellers.
