April 25, 2025: Rimigo, an AI travel-tech platform has secured $550,000 in pre-seed to accelerate its plans to augment product development, hire new human resources, and widen its travel, and technology talent.
Sahil Sharma, CEO and Co-founder of Rimigo, said “People save for an entire year and plan their vacation. Vacations are highly emotional experiences, and travelers want every detail to be right. However, current platforms in the market remain transactional, offering limited personalisation and fragmented services.”
Rimigo provides an AI-driven end-to-end vacation planning solution, where users simply specify their destination and vacation preferences, and the platform generates detailed itineraries, flight recommendations, curated accommodation, dining, and activity options.
“We’ve already organised over 120 vacations in a beta phase. Around 50 of these trips have been completed successfully, with many users planning their next vacations with us or referring their friends. The remaining 70 trips are still in the planning stage,” Sahil added.
Currently in beta stage, the Bengaluru-based startup solves key challenges travellers face such as complex processes, information overload, limited personalisation, and local expertise.
Shubham Chintalwar, Co-founder & CTO, Rimigo, said “With advances in AI, we now have a unique opportunity to create a truly personalised vacation planning experience.”
Rimigo to make personalised vacation planning easier
Founded by Sahil Sharma, Shubham Chintalwar, and Aditya Shirole, Rimigo aims to simplify international travel with integrated collaborative tools, AI-driven personalisation, and curated travel insights.
“Our platform will combine collaborative tools with AI-powered guidance and curated booking options to make international travel more accessible and enjoyable,” added Aditya Shirole, Co-founder & CPO, Rimigo.
The founders had previously co-founded GigIndia, a freelance micro-entrepreneur platform. The startup, which had over 1.5 million micro-entrepreneurs and 100 enterprise customers, was taken over by fintech giant PhonePe in 2022 to enhance its enterprise offerings.
The fresh round was led by Japan-based Reazon Capital and SGgrow. The round also saw participation from prominent Indian angel investors such as S Ramadorai, former CEO of TCS; Ravi Nigam, former MD of Tasty Bite Eatables; Shashank Deshpande, MD of Pentathlon Ventures; and Ujjwal Jain, CEO of Share.Market, ex founder WealthDesk.
