Escape Plan has raised USD 5 million in a seed round from Jungle Ventures' First Cheque@Jungle initiative and Fireside Ventures.
The Bengaluru-based travel and lifestyle startup plans to use the funds to deepen its inventory, form strategic brand partnerships, and expand its quick commerce and retail presence.
Founded in 2025 by Abhinav Pathak and Abhinav Zutshi, Escape Plan operates as a multi-brand travel platform. It offers a wide selection of travel products including luggage, backpacks, passport covers, and neck pillows, all with an aim of two-hour delivery.
"Our focus is not just on luggage but on solving every small travel need with a tailored approach. We are building a platform that includes a rewards system and services such as second-hand purchases and refurbishments," said Abhinav Pathak, Co-founder and CEO.
Pathak earlier founded Perpule, a retail tech firm acquired by Amazon in 2021. Zutshi brings more than ten years of experience in retail, having worked with Landmark Group and Forever 21.
Escape Plan aims to scale through a hybrid retail model combining physical stores, local delivery, and immersive shopping experiences. The startup is targeting over 100 stores in the next two years.
Rishab Malik of Jungle Ventures said the founders' approach stands out in an underserved category for Indian consumers seeking global-quality travel products.
