AI and automation funding in Asia Pacific
AI and automation covers artificial intelligence built for travel: trip planners, booking agents and automation for travel businesses. This page lists every round we have found for these companies in India, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia and New Zealand since 1 January 2026, each linked to its source.
So far: 5 rounds by 5 companies, with $36.6M disclosed. The largest disclosed round is WD Trip's round of $14.8M, announced in Jun 2026.
Rounds from 1 January 2026, built from company announcements, investor posts and the press, and checked every morning. The rest of the world follows in a later edition. How we build this
Unverified rows (one secondary source so far) are included and carry a badge; unverified rounds of USD 50M or more stay off the page until verified. Totals count disclosed amounts only, converted to USD at the rate on the announcement date.

Founders, investors and PR teams can send us a round with a link to the public announcement. We check every submission against a public source before it goes in.
Submit your roundHow we build this
- APAC edition: startups headquartered in India, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia or New Zealand, and startups based elsewhere that operate mainly in APAC or raised from APAC investors.
- Only public sources: company announcements, investor posts, regulatory filings and the press. Every round links to where we found it and shows the date we checked it.
- Verified means a primary source or two independent reports agree. Unverified means one secondary report so far; we keep checking.
- We never estimate an amount. If no source gives one, the row says undisclosed.
- Descriptions are written by TravHQ. Investors are organisations; individual angels are counted, never named.
