Funding Announcement
Alive App secured $1 million in a new funding round led by Powerhouse Ventures and Flipkart Ventures. The proceeds will be used to strengthen product and technology capabilities and accelerate the creation and availability of experiences across its current markets.
Expansion and Operations
The platform now operates in six Indian cities—Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Goa—offering more than 500 curated experiences across adventure, food, wellness, art, culture and learning categories. Its creator ecosystem has grown to over 400 creators and partners. In the past six months the company entered Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi, and its experience supply in these newly launched markets has grown five times faster than during the initial expansion phase, with approximately 100 new experiences added each month.
Growth Targets
Alive App is targeting three‑fold revenue growth over the next few months and aims to increase the frequency with which consumers use the app, positioning it as the default companion for weekend discovery.
Market Insights
Platform data indicate that more than 90 % of bookings are for local experiences, reflecting a shift toward consuming leisure activities closer to home rather than as travel‑led events.
Management Comments
Vivek Kumar, Founder & CEO, said the biggest validation has been the rapid adoption of experiences as an upgrade to weekend plans in every city, noting that Mumbai and Chennai are growing much faster than Bengaluru did in its early months and that the supply in newly launched cities is expanding five times faster than the initial phase. Kshitij Golwalkar, General Partner at Powerhouse Ventures, highlighted the company’s differentiated, capital‑efficient model and its AI‑led operating approach as giving Alive App the potential to lead India’s rapidly growing experience economy.
