“I think the core thesis and the core model of building a vertical for travel is playing out really well. We’ve been lucky that nobody else is focussing on this category with the depth that we are,” Abhinav Pathak, cofounder and chief executive of Escape Plan.

“Quick commerce platforms do a great job, but this category needs a very different focus. It doesn’t work on biker delivery. All quick commerce platforms combined sell about 25,000-30,000 suitcases a month. We sell that in three days,” he said. Pathak said the company sells over 20 lakh pieces of luggage a month, which is still just about 3% of the market.

Rishab Malik, managing partner, seed investments, Jungle Ventures, said, "Travel is one of the few large consumer categories in india where brand trust, physical availability and repeat usage is built over years not quarters. Escape Plan has invested early in supply-chain control, distribution depth, and brand consistency.” He added that the company can compound into a category-defining travel vertical in the long term.
