Rimigo, a startup transforming the way international vacations are planned, raises $550,000 in funding

Rimigo, a traveltech startup aiming to transform the way international vacations are planned, has raised $550,000 in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Japan’s Reazon Capital and SGgrow Capital.

The round also saw participation from several high-profile Indian angel investors, including former TCS chief S. Ramadorai, Ravi Nigam of Tasty Bite, Shashank Deshpande of Pentathlon Ventures, and Ujjwal Jain, founder of WealthDesk and CEO of Share.Market.

The Bengaluru-based startup said the funds will be used to accelerate product development and scale its core team of travel and technology experts.

What does Rimigo do?

Founded in 2024 by Sahil Sharma, Shubham Chintalwar, and Aditya Shirole, Rimigo is building an AI-powered vacation planning platform that generates end-to-end travel itineraries—from flights and stays to dining and local experiences—based entirely on a user's destination and preferences.

"Travel planning today is still fragmented, time-consuming, and impersonal," said Sahil Sharma, co-founder and CEO.“Rimigo is here to change that with intelligent automation, local insights, and collaborative tools."

Blending AI with human curation

The startup said it has organised over 120 vacations during its beta phase, with 50 trips already completed and the rest underway. Rimigo’s early traction, driven largely by referrals, signals strong product-market fit for a generation of travellers seeking convenience, depth, and individuality in their travel plans.

Unlike traditional travel platforms that focus on bookings and logistics, Rimigo blends AI with human curation to offer a deeply personalised experience.

“With recent advances in generative AI, we now have an opportunity to create intuitive, responsive travel solutions that adapt to a user’s evolving needs,” said Shubham Chintalwar, co-founder and CTO.
