ZillOut has raised ₹2.75 crore in a seed funding round. The round saw participation from existing investor Jindagi Live Angel Fund along with other angel investors, including ZillOut Co-founder Anshul Jhawar. With this, the company has raised a total of ₹4.35 crore to date.
Founded by Gaurav Sharma, Nayan Mishra, and Anshul Jhawar, ZillOut aims to modernize India’s $50+ billion going-out economy through its integrated platform 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 via a single QR code system.
ZillOut addresses the critical pain points of India’s fragmented going-out ecosystem, where venues often rely on POS terminals, spreadsheets, booking apps, and third-party promoters. This fragmentation leads to slow operations, scattered data, unnoticed revenue leaks, and unsatisfied high-value guests. The platform’s three-layer approach—Infra, Data, and Distribution—is woven into an AI-driven thread that enhances the end-to-end going-out experience.
The company has achieved notable traction, with over 150 venues onboarded across 20 cities including Goa, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Gurugram. ZillOut has managed transactions worth over ₹80 crore, facilitated more than six lakh verified guest entries, handled over 50,000 online bookings, and helped venues recover over ₹2 crore in potential revenue losses.
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 new funding will be used to enhance AI capabilities and automation, drive technology development, support business expansion, and scale marketing and operational initiatives. Beyond India, ZillOut plans to expand its presence to Dubai and Southeast Asia, aiming to redefine the global going-out experience.
