History
Explurger was launched in 2022, with the idea of creating a platform that encourages exploration and real-time sharing.[3] Jitin Bhatia created Explurger app, inspired by his desire to recall the places he had visited, which led to the creation of a digital travelogue. Jitin Bhatia and actor Sonu Sood later collaborated on a gamified travel platform, combining Bhatia's idea for a gamified travel platform with Sood's commitment to community-building.[4] Explurger was officially launched in 2022 after spending over seven years developing it.[5]
Explurger has over 20 million downloads across iOS and Android, with users spending an average of 17 minutes on the app.[6] It is now used in more than 75 countries.[7]
The app was created to cater to users who are interested in discovering new places, events, and experiences while sharing insights with a community.[3] In 2021, the app company received a $1 million investment round from numerous investors.[8] In 2024, Explurger raised $4.5 million funding round led by Affle India.[9]
