Visa processing startup Atlys has secured $36 million in a Series C funding round led by Susquehanna Asia VC, with participation from MakeMyTrip and existing investors including Elevation Capital, Long Journey Ventures, and Peak XV Partners.
The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand into new international markets while strengthening its presence in regions where it already operates. A key focus will also be on enhancing its technology by embedding intelligence across the entire visa lifecycle, including document verification, eligibility checks, and traveller support.
Founded in 2021 by Mohak Nahta, Atlys enables users to discover, apply for, and manage visas digitally across more than 120 destinations. The platform is designed to simplify what has traditionally been a complex and manual process, making global travel more accessible.
The startup has seen strong growth, processing close to 450,000 visas since its previous funding round and operating at an annual run rate of over 700,000 applications. Its international markets, including the UAE, the US, the UK, and Australia, now contribute nearly half of its overall business.
Commenting on the company’s vision, founder and CEO Mohak Nahta said, “Our mission is simple: remove the barriers that prevent people from exploring the world.”
The latest funding highlights growing investor interest in travel-tech platforms that use AI to streamline cross-border processes, positioning Atlys to build a more seamless and scalable global mobility infrastructure.
