Thrillophilia’s ₹500 Crore AI Bet: Why This Jaipur Firm Is Eating Everyone’s Lunch
Jaipur:
While traditional tour operators scrambled for commissions, one Indian company quietly built an AI engine that books, tracks, and delivers complex multi‑day tours at scale—and it’s paying off.
Thrillophilia , headquartered in Jaipur, recently won the ET Entrepreneur Awards 2026 – AI in Travel category. The numbers are striking
- 1 million+ travellers served on multi‑day tours (FY21–FY25)
- ₹500 crore+ revenue with EBITDA profitability
- Fully AI‑powered tour lifecycle from itinerary creation to ground delivery
What makes them brilliant? They don’t use AI to replace humans. They use it to make humans better. Their Trip Management System (TMS) tracks every vendor, booking, and timeline. Thrillo Voice AI handles first‑touch inquiries. CallMind analyses conversations to improve advisor performance.
Founding insight: “Booking a trip is easy. Delivering it is not.” While others chase flashy booking platforms, Thrillophilia focused on the unglamorous backend—and became profitable.
B2B Fraternity Take
Thrillophilia proves that tech‑enabled execution beats discount wars . B2B players must stop relying on Excel sheets for operations. Invest in itinerary and vendor‑management systems—or partner with tech‑first platforms. The future belongs to those who can deliver complex tours reliably, not just cheaply. Scale without systems is a trap.
