Oct 8th, Bangalore : ZillOut, the company building India’s going out AI SaaS
platform, today announced that it has raised ₹2.75 crores in a seed funding
round. The round saw participation from existing investor Jindagi Live Angel
Fund among other angel investors. Anshul Jhawar, Co-founder, ZillOut also
participated in the round. The company has raised a total of 4.35 cr till date. 
 

Founded by Gaurav Sharma, Nayan Mishra, and
Anshul Jhawar, ZillOut is transforming India’s $50+ billion going-out economy
through its AI-powered SaaS vertical for venue operations and guest
intelligence. 

The platform combines infrastructure management with data
analytics to help venues optimize operations, identify high-value guests, and
provide personalized experiences through a single QR code system.

ZillOut addresses critical pain points in
India’s fragmented going-out ecosystem where most venues and organisers juggle
POS terminals, spreadsheets, booking apps, and third‑party promoters, resulting
in slow operations, scattered data and insights, unnoticed revenue leaks, and
confused high‑value guests. 

The platform includes a three-layer approach – Infra, Data and Distribution woven into one AI‑driven thread that uplifts the end-to-end
going-out experience. 

The company has achieved significant traction with
150+ venues onboarded across 20 cities including Goa, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune,
Delhi, and Gurugram. ZillOut manages ₹80+ crores worth of transactions,
facilitated 6+ lakh verified guest entries, and managed 50,000+ online bookings
while helping venues save ₹2+ crores in revenue leakage.

Commenting on the funding, Gaurav Sharma,
Co-founder & CEO of ZillOut, said “India’s ₹5 lakh crore going-out
market is booming, but venues still juggle fragmented systems that leak revenue
and lose their best guests. We’ve built ZillOut around the QR scan behavior
that’s now muscle memory for every Indian—one tap powers our AI platform
connecting entry, payments, and guest engagement seamlessly. The result is
faster operations for venues and VIP treatment for top spenders, all from a
single dashboard.”

The funding will be primarily used to scale
AI capabilities and automation efforts, technology development, business
expansion, marketing,  and other operational needs. 

ZillOut has also enabled 50,000+ direct bookings for
its venue partners via its distribution platform.

The company’s vision extends beyond India, with plans
to expand to Dubai and  Southeast Asia.
