Company background

Alive App was established in the year 2023 by Vivek Kumar. Alive App is designed with an aim of providing its users with various curated experiences in many different categories that include adventure, food, wellness, art, culture, and education. Alive app is planning to leverage the growth of the Indian experience economy through the development of unique technology and supply chain infrastructure.

The platform is built to serve urban users who are looking for high-quality and carefully curated leisure events; it is designed as an “app ecosystem”, where the consumer can easily discover an engagement offer in accordance with their personal lifestyle interests.

Geographical expansion and industry landscape

Currently, Alive App is functional in six major cities of India, which include Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, and Goa. In these markets, more than 500 experiences can be accessed using this platform through collaboration with more than 400 creators and partners.

The company has targeted a revenue growth of 3X in the coming months. To achieve this growth vision, the management will make a concentrated effort to engage its users more often on its platform. From an operational efficiency and unit economics standpoint, the startup says that it has achieved its first profitable quarter in Bengaluru, its first and most important market.

Alive App’s geographical coverage has been expanded in the last six months, with an existing base in Goa growing to include Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi. The company has said that its experience supply has scaled up five times faster since its initial expansion phase, in Chennai, Mumbai, the metros of the East, as well as Goa. 

This platform is continually expanding its library of experiences, with approximately 100 added per month. Experience-tech platforms are increasingly rolling out technology solutions that congregate and curate activities across a range of categories. This move follows steady demand from urban users throughout the country to experience and discover new products.

There have been considerable investments and investor attention in this industry in recent times. Bucketlistt managed to get ₹1.07 crore in a pre-seed fundraising round in June this year for creating a curated marketplace for validated experiences, which include adventure, culture, and immersive experiences.  Urbanaut is another player in this space that provides city experiences, events, workshops, culinary pop-ups, wellness, and culture-based activities. WanderOn has raised ₹54 crore in its Series A funding round in 2026.

The capital infusion from Powerhouse Ventures and Flipkart Ventures provides the startup with a solid jumpstart for expanding its supply chain, geographical footprint, and tech capabilities.
