Why me as your co-founder?
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across marketplaces, operations, and early-stage ventures — from companies like Amazon, Swiggy, and Zolo, as well as building ventures of my own.
Recently, I experimented with AuroVil, but eventually called it quits because the idea lacked a real M.O.A.T. and wasn’t scalable in the way I envisioned.
Today, I’m building Trevio — a platform focused on unlocking India’s cultural travel economy.
And I’m looking for a Co-Founder & Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) to build it together.
The Problem
India is one of the richest travel destinations in the world.
Yet the most meaningful experiences often remain invisible online.
- The village homestay
- The artisan workshop
- The heritage home
- The spiritual retreat
- The local storyteller who knows the land better than any guidebook
While large platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com have transformed global travel bookings, India’s deeper cultural travel layer remains largely unstructured and offline.That’s the gap Trevio aims to solve.
The Vision
Trevio is being built as a technology platform for meaningful travel experiences.
Our long-term architecture includes:
• A cultural travel marketplace connecting travelers with verified hosts
• A trust infrastructure that ensures authenticity and credibility
• An AI-driven discovery engine that curates journeys based on traveler intent
The goal isn’t just to build another booking site.
It’s to build a discovery engine for the soul of travel in India.
The Role: Co-Founder & CRO
I’m looking for someone who wants to build the commercial engine of Trevio from the ground up.
As Co-Founder & CRO, you will be responsible for building and scaling the revenue, partnerships, and supply ecosystem for the platform.
Y
our responsibilities will include:
• Building Trevio’s host and experience supply network across India
• Creating strategic partnerships with homestays, heritage properties, and local operators
• Designing scalable revenue models and pricing frameworks
• Developing distribution channels and growth partnerships
• Turning Trevio into a trusted platform for cultural travel hosts
More importantly, you will help shape the go-to-market strategy and commercial vision of Trevio.
This is a founding role, not just a sales leadership job.
Founding Alignment
As this is a founding partnership, the role requires an initial investment of ₹15 lakhs toward working capital to help build and launch the Trevio MVP, alongside a meaningful equity stake in the company.
The idea is simple: shared ownership, shared risk, shared upside.
Who This Might Be For
Someone who:
• Enjoys building markets and partnerships from scratch
• Has experience in travel, hospitality, marketplaces, or B2B partnerships
• Understands how to build supply networks and distribution engines
• Thinks long-term about brand, revenue, and ecosystem growth
Most importantly:
Someone who believes travel should be about culture, stories, and connection — not just transactions.
Why Trevio?
Travel is changing.
People are no longer just looking for places to visit.
They’re looking for experiences that mean something.
India already has those experiences.
But the infrastructure to discover and book them at scale barely exists yet.
That’s the opportunity.
