If you do not know about Holidify, It means you hate travel. Holodify is an awesome platform which helps you in discover better places to travel and plan your trips. I love their weekend Getaways thing to plan a trip for my weekend with friends. No matter where you live, you will surely find a place near you to visit and information about the hotels and approx travel time from any city. Holidify also claims to grow around 10x in past one year and traffic on their website is around half million monthly. They are serving around 800 holiday ideas currently.
This platform was founded by Kovid Kapoor and Rohit Shroff, both graduated from IIT Bombay. I also covered the story of their startup last year. This year in June, they also launched Holidify mobile app which has so far seen over 10,000 downloads.
Holidify is also in talks with a few VC firms to raise a bigger round soon. Bigger round means they can accelerate their growth. With bigger round of funding, they are planning to expand operations and offer customized packages to their users. I hope to hear this good news soon.
