From a Travel Startup to Ministry-Certified Operator: How JustWravel Built India’s Leading Social Travel Community

What does it take to
become India’s safest and most vibrant social travel community? On-Ground
expertise, visionary leaders, or a relentless passion for connecting explorers?
When all of this came together, JustWravel was born, a community where travel isn’t
just about destinations, but about shared experiences and lifelong friendships.

In just 9 years,
JustWravel has transformed the way India travels. From a small startup with a
bold vision to connect adventure seekers, it has grown into a trusted, community-driven
platform that inspires thousands to explore, connect, and live their travel
dreams.

Recently recognized as
a certified
Best Adventure Tour Operator
by the Ministry of Tourism (Incredible India),
JustWravel
is stepping into the new year with renewed energy and vision.

Building a Community, Not Just Trips

Founded in 2016,
JustWravel set out to create more than travel itineraries; it aimed to create a
social travel ecosystem. Today, its WravelerForLife community boasts
over 1 lakh active travelers, 10,000+ positive reviews, and an Instagram
community of 3 lakh+ followers,
making it one of India’s most active and
engaged travel communities.

The numbers are more
than impressive, they reflect trust, loyalty, and shared experiences. Every 5
minutes, a new Wraveler joins the journey.

Every month, thousands
of active travelers are exploring India and beyond with JustWravel, so while
you are reading this, someone is out there living their travel dream.

At the heart of this
success is JustWravel’s philosophy: Social. Trust. Safety.

This approach has
produced a remarkable 30% repeat traveler rate, proving that JustWravel
isn’t just a platform, it’s a family of explorers.

Unlike traditional
travel agencies that focus solely on destinations, JustWravel prioritizes
community-first travel.

From international tour packages,
fixed departures, all-girls trips, corporate tours, biking expeditions, treks,
to customized journeys, JustWravel ensures inclusivity, safety, and adventure
for every traveler.

The idea is simple yet
revolutionary: a one-stop platform for everything travel. It’s JustWravel.

Visionary Founders Behind the Movement

At the helm are Rohan
Verma and Shubhangi Pandey,
whose combined passion for travel and
community-building transformed a startup into a nationwide movement.

Rohan Verma, Founder
& CEO
, ex-Coca Cola and Infosys professional,
envisioned a platform where travel could be about personal growth,
relationships, and unforgettable experiences. “While traveling with us, you’re
not joining a trip, you’re joining a community of like-minded explorers,” he
says. His leadership has set industry benchmarks in safety, innovation, and
traveler engagement.

Shubhangi Pandey,
Co-founder,
has championed inclusivity and
sustainability. Her initiatives, like All Girls Trips and the
eco-conscious “Keep the Trails Alive” campaign, highlight her belief
that travel is transformative when safe, responsible, and accessible.

With Nishant Sharma
(Marketing Head) and Shanif Baig (Operations Head)
providing operational
and strategic support, JustWravel has cemented its position as a leader in
adventure tourism, winning accolades like:

risky, but at JustWravel, safety comes first. Key initiatives include:

       
Certified Trip Leaders trained in Wilderness
First Aid, Adventure Management, and Mountaineering

       
Free Travel Insurance covering up to ₹4.5 lakh
