To everyone who has ever been a part of goSTOPS - our guests, our collaborators, our investors, our community, and our team, Today, we stand at a defining moment in our journey. A moment that belongs to each and every one of you who believed in the vision of goSTOPS and helped shape it into what it is today. With immense gratitude and excitement, we are thrilled to share that we have secured Series A funding of ₹35 crores to fuel the next phase of our growth. This isn’t just a milestone - it’s a celebration of every effort, every sleepless night, every challenge that we have overcome, and every dream nurtured since our inception. It is a testament to the unwavering belief that travel isn’t just about places - it’s about people, experiences, and the stories that stay with us long after the journey ends. From the first brick laid to the 30+ locations we now call home, from a few beds to 2500+ designed for the new-age traveller, every step has been taken with the intent to make travel accessible, immersive, and transformative for the youth of India. At goSTOPS, we’ve always been more than just a place to stay. We are a community-led, tech-first brand that thrives on creating vibrant, design-led social spaces where exploration meets connection. Our ethos - "goMORE. beMORE." - isn’t just a tagline; it’s the spirit that fuels us. We exist to empower young adventurers to break boundaries, embrace new cultures, and grow into the best versions of themselves. This funding marks the beginning of a new chapter. One where we expand further, innovate faster, and strengthen our mission to redefine the way youth travel in India. We are grateful to our investors for believing in our vision and to our incredible team, who pour their hearts into making goSTOPS the brand it is today. But above all, this is for you. To the guests who chose us, the team who built us, the collaborators who trusted us, and the community that continues to uplift us - thank you. This victory belongs to you as much as it does to us. Let’s keep going, keep growing, and keep making travel an experience that is not just memorable but truly transformational.
