April 19, 2025 — Fintech-travel startup Scapia has announced the successful closure of its $40 million Series B funding round, marking a major milestone in its mission to revolutionize how consumers experience travel and financial services. The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with continued participation from existing investors including 3one4 Capital and several prominent angel investors.

Founded with a vision to merge smart financial tools with seamless travel experiences, Scapia has gained rapid traction in the Indian market through its co-branded travel credit card and app-first ecosystem. The company enables users to earn and redeem travel benefits effortlessly while enjoying features like zero forex markup, real-time expense tracking, and AI-driven travel recommendations.

Since its launch, Scapia has emerged as a standout in the crowded fintech landscape by focusing on the intersection of lifestyle, finance, and travel. Its user base has grown significantly over the past year, driven by the increasing demand for integrated solutions that reward travel-savvy consumers.

“This new round of funding is a validation of our product, our vision, and the growing community of travelers who believe in the future we’re building,” said Anil Goteti, Founder & CEO of Scapia. “We’re excited to accelerate our efforts to create an ecosystem that makes travel more accessible, rewarding, and financially intelligent for everyone.”

Scaling Operations and Product Innovation

With this fresh capital infusion, Scapia plans to:

• Expand its credit offerings across new segments and geographies
• Enhance AI-powered personalization in its app for smarter travel planning
• Onboard new global travel partners to broaden reward and redemption opportunities
• Strengthen hiring across product, engineering, and customer experience teams

Investor Confidence

Lead investor Lightspeed emphasized the unique positioning of Scapia in combining financial empowerment with aspirational lifestyle benefits. “Scapia sits at the sweet spot of two massive markets—fintech and travel. The team has built a differentiated product with a loyal and fast-growing user base. We’re proud to back them on their next phase of growth,” said Dev Khare, Partner at Lightspeed India.

Looking Ahead

As Gen Z and millennial consumers seek more value, transparency, and personalization in their financial tools, Scapia is poised to redefine what a modern credit product can offer. The Series B round not only fuels its ambition to become India’s leading travel-focused fintech but also underscores the growing global interest in verticalized fintech platforms.

For Scapia, the journey has only just begun—but it’s already proving to be a first-class experience.
