Atlys Secures $36 Million Series C Led by Susquehanna Asia VC to Build AI-Native Travel Infrastructure
What is the news?
Atlys, the disruptive visa-processing platform founded by Indian-origin entrepreneur Mohak Nahta, has announced a $36 million Series C funding round. Led by Susquehanna Asia VC, the round saw continued support from marquee investors Peak XV Partners and Elevation Capital, alongside a new strategic investment from MakeMyTrip. This milestone follows a period of hyper-growth for Atlys, which has seen an 11-fold increase in scale since its 2024 Series B round.
Why is it interesting?
Mohak Nahta, a former software engineer at Pinterest, founded Atlys to solve the systemic friction of international travel. By consolidating eligibility checks, document uploads, and payments into a single digital flow, the platform has processed nearly 450,000 visas in the last year alone. The company, which operates across major corridors including the US, UK, and UAE, is now shifting its focus toward an “AI-native” future. The new capital will be deployed to automate the entire visa lifecycle from real-time traveler support to sophisticated document verification.
As the Global Indian Alpha narrative gains momentum, Atlys stands out as a bridge between Indian talent and global markets. With over half of its revenue now coming from outside India, Nahta’s vision of making “passport strength” irrelevant to one’s ability to travel is becoming a reality, cementing Atlys’s role as foundational infrastructure for global mobility.
