Explurger
While most social media keeps you scrolling endlessly, Jitin Bhatia, Founder and CEO of Explurger, built a platform that pushes you to step out and explore. His travel-first social app rewards real-world experiences, not screen time. With AI-powered travelogues and gamified journey tracking, Explurger is changing how we connect in the digital age.
The idea sparked during the pandemic, when the world stood still. A lifelong explorer, Jitin dreamed of rekindling the spirit of wanderlust that had faded when the world stopped moving. What started as a small digital space for travelers soon became a global movement. Today, 18M+ explorers across 75 countries are part of Explurger's community. Users share their trips, tick off bucket list adventures, celebrate milestones, and earn rewards along the way - making every journey purposeful, memorable, and truly unforgettable.
Explurger is part of the growing wave of Indian startups growing global but unlike others it is the only social media app fulfilling the Make-In-India promise. Recently, renowned Bollywood actor and co-founder Sonu Sood highlighted this achievement in a tweet, answering PM Modi's call to support homegrown innovations. The app prides itself in desi roots and global ambitions, with Jitin Bhatia himself promoting the app's motto, Get Out - Get Social - discouraging doomscolling and promoting actual adventures and travels.
In India alone, there are over 2 million active digital creators, influencing an estimated USD 350 billion in consumer spending every year, a figure expected to surpass USD 1 trillion by 2030 (PIB, 2025). Banking on the momentum,Jitin Bhatia is positioning Explurger not just as a travel app but as a creator-first social platform.
These trends underscore the massive opportunity for platforms like Explurger, which reward users for experiencing life rather than just broadcasting it. As the creator economy matures, Jitin Bhatia envisions Explurger empowering a new kind of influencer - one defined not by filters or followers, but by footprints.
"People want to be part of something real - to share their journeys, not just moments," says Jitin Bhatia. "Explurger bridges the digital and physical worlds, giving creators a platform that values experiences and authenticity above all."
