Scapia, a travel fintech company, has raised $40 million in a Series B funding round led by Peak XV Partners. The round also saw participation from existing investors, Elevation Capital, Z47, and 3STATE Ventures.
The funds raised will be used to strengthen its team, enhance its product offerings, harness the power of AI and accelerate its ambitious growth plans.
“Over the past three years, we have focused on creating exceptional travel products, forging strong banking partnerships, and building a talented team. This has rapidly positioned Scapia as the preferred co-branded card and travel app for Gen Z and Millennials in India. With the support of Peak XV and our existing investors, we are poised to accelerate our product roadmap and deliver innovative solutions to travellers faster than ever before,” said Anil Goteti, Founder & CEO of Scapia.
“Millennials and Gen Z are turning travel into a guilt-free, all-pleasure experience, which is setting the stage for rapid growth in the travel industry in India. Scapia is uniquely positioned to fuel this revolution by merging a booming travel market with an untapped credit card market to offer a unique and delightful experience to this customer base. We are thrilled to partner with Anil and the team as they build an experience-led consumer internet company for the next decade,” said Tejeshwi Sharma, MD, Peak XV.
“The travel fintech space represents a significant opportunity, especially considering that Gen Z and millennials now account for 50% of all credit card issuance in India—pointing to a rapidly growing, digital-first consumer base that will fuel an $80–100 billion annual revenue opportunity by 2030. Scapia’s product-market fit positions them perfectly to capture an outsized share of this growing segment. Their co-branded card has tapped into exactly what the consumers want—zero joining & annual fees, no forex markup, and meaningful rewards that enhance the travel experience. We’re confident in Scapia’s continued momentum and pleased to strengthen our partnership with Anil and the team,” said Mridul Arora, Partner, Elevation Capital.
“Scapia is transforming how the next generation of Indians travel and spend on experiences. Anil and team have crafted delightful user journeys through industry-first innovations like Airport Privileges, while providing a full-service travel platform that includes buses and trains. Throughout this journey, they have also built a highly compliant fintech model with the Scapia co-branded credit card. We are privileged to be their earliest backers and are delighted to double down on our investment here. We welcome Peak XV to the partnership and look forward to Scapia’s continued scaling journey,” said Vikram Vaidyanathan, Investor & MD, Z47.
Founded in 2022 by Anil Goteti, Scapia offers financial products and travel services through their co-branded credit card.
