About SponsoredTrip

Making travel dreams come true.

We're a travel community where brands sponsor real journeys: curated trips at sponsored prices for everyone, free trips for our contest winners, and stories that reach millions. We grew without celebrity endorsements or big media budgets, powered by a belief that everyone deserves to travel.

Our story

It started with a shared dream

On 1 June 2024, three travel lovers, now our CEO & Strategic Head, Marketing Head and Creative & Media Head, started SponsoredTrip. They kept meeting people who dreamt of the mountains, the sea or a pilgrimage, but were held back by money or by the hassle of planning.

So we built a simple model. Our verified travel partners organise curated trips, and brands sponsor them, which brings the price down for every traveller who books. Our contest winners join the same trips completely free. In return, real travellers show the sponsors' products in real moments, honestly and on camera.

In 60 days we had about 300K followers. Today we're 800K+ on Instagram, 500K+ on Facebook, live on YouTube, and our own app is on Android and iOS. We are Sponsoredtrip Private Limited, based in Greater Noida (Delhi NCR).

Our mission

Make travel possible for everyone: young people, families, senior citizens and anyone held back by money, by letting brands fund real journeys.

Our vision

India's largest community-led travel ecosystem, where travellers win or book trips, brands reach people through experiences, and small travel agents get a digital home.

What we believe

The values that guide every trip

Real people over scripted ads

A common man can be the most authentic brand ambassador. Real travellers sharing real experiences build trust no ad can buy.

Emotion first

People remember experiences, not advertisements. Every campaign starts with a journey worth remembering.

Accountable growth

Every campaign is tracked, and every rupee a brand spends has to show a return.

Safety, always

Verified partners only, insurance for every sponsored traveller and a coordinator on every trip.

Our journey

Built by travellers, grown by a community

No celebrity endorsements, no big media budgets. Just a simple idea that a lot of people turned out to love.
