We built Backyourtrip because “someday” wasn’t working.

Travel mattered to us. But like so many people, we kept leaving it for later.

Why we started

We all have that trip that never happened.

Wanting to travel was never really the problem. We know travel should remain part of our lives: the yearly break, the trip with friends, the family holiday, the dream destination, taking our parents somewhere special.

But every new holiday somehow starts from zero. The costs arrive all at once, and “this year” quietly becomes “maybe next year.”

That got us thinking about everything that needs to happen before someone is ready to book. That thought became Backyourtrip.

Our story

We were doing it before we gave it a name.

Before 2019, we hadn’t travelled much.

Mumbai was home. Careers were happening. Life was busy. Travel was something we wanted to do — someday.

Then 2020 happened. Like it did for millions of people, COVID changed how we thought about time. Someday suddenly didn’t feel like a particularly good plan.

So when the world opened again, we started going. Sometimes together. Sometimes individually. With friends. With family.

Travel doesn’t just happen. It takes planning, putting money aside and committing to actually go.

We were already doing exactly that ourselves. Every trip made the lesson clearer, and eventually we started wondering why there wasn’t a company helping people do it.

We both came from backgrounds working with travel companies. We knew there were plenty of businesses ready to help once you were ready to book. We wanted to build something for everything that happens before that.

In 2026, we decided to build it.

Backyourtrip.

Why Backyourtrip

There are plenty of companies ready to help when you’re ready to book. We built Backyourtrip for everything that happens before that.

Because “someday” isn’t a travel plan.
