About us
We've been building toward this moment for twenty-eight years.
Hyperfunnel was founded by a travel industry veteran who has spent his career on the same side of the table as the brands we serve, fighting for better distribution, fairer economics, and technology that actually works for travel suppliers.

Ashwin Kamlani, Founder & CEO
It started at sixteen.
A student exchange in Tenerife, living with a Spanish-speaking family, changed Ashwin Kamlani's life. Hospitality was already in his blood: his grandfather opened India's first five-star hotel.
After consulting at Accenture and PwC and a master's from Cornell's Hotel School, Ashwin joined Meliá Hotels International, rising to Global Head of Ecommerce by 2008 and managing nearly a quarter-billion euros in revenue. From that seat, he watched the OTA era hollow out travel suppliers: punishing commissions, vanishing customer data, brands treated like vending machines.
So in 2010 he built the antidote. Regatta Travel Solutions gave hotels and destinations a booking experience worth choosing over Expedia and Booking.com. Adopted in 40+ destinations, it was acquired in 2016.
An early investor in foundational AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity, Ashwin watched the technology mature until it could transform how travel is inspired and sold. Then he founded Hyperfunnel: The next chapter of a fight he's been in his whole career.

Hyperfunnel's advisory board represents some of the most experienced commercial, technology, and distribution minds in the global travel industry.
We're early. That's the point.
The channels being built right now will define travel distribution for the next decade. The brands that show up first will write the rules everyone else follows.
