Ghoomo is being built by product and engineering leaders from Google and Microsoft, alongside deep veterans of the travel and tourism industry. We've seen how technology scales — and we've seen what travel actually needs. This is where those two things meet.
Travel is a $1.9 trillion industry running on infrastructure from a different era. Booking platforms optimized for transactions, not trust. Local knowledge locked in the heads of millions of people with no way to share it. And travelers left to piece together experiences from generic recommendations and anonymous reviews.
We asked: what if the people who actually know a place could be the ones who help you experience it? What if trust in travel could be measured, not just hoped for? What if the best journeys could be passed forward, getting better with each traveler?
Most platforms use AI to remove humans from the equation. We use it to find the right ones. Our AI understands your intent, learns your instincts, and matches you with people whose knowledge no algorithm could replicate — locals who know the unmarked alley with the best food, the guide who knows exactly when the light hits the temple just right, the host who treats you like family.
This isn't AI instead of humans. It's AI that makes the human connection better, faster, and more trusted than anything that exists in travel today. The intelligence layer handles complexity — risk, matching, trust scoring, language barriers — so that what you experience feels effortless and deeply personal.
AI has reached the point where it can understand intent, match personalities, and assess risk in ways that weren't possible even two years ago. At the same time, the post-pandemic traveler wants authenticity, depth, and trust more than ever. The supply of people who can deliver that has always existed — they just never had a platform.
We can't share everything yet. But we're building the trust infrastructure that the travel industry has been missing — and a marketplace that turns the world's untapped local knowledge into a new kind of travel experience. One where every journey has a human behind it, and every connection is built on real trust.
Our engineering team comes from Google, Microsoft, and high-growth startups. We know how to build systems that scale to millions.
Decades of combined experience across OTAs, airlines, and hospitality. We understand the industry's real pain points from the inside.
We don't bolt AI onto old workflows. We architect from AI outward — matching, trust, risk, personalization — then layer in human expertise where it matters most.
AI handles the complexity — matching, risk, trust, language — so humans can do what they do best: connect, share stories, and create experiences no machine ever could.
We believe trust can be quantified in ways that benefit everyone — travelers, guides, and businesses alike. Not through surveillance, but through transparent, fair systems.
The person who lives on a street knows more about it than any algorithm. We're building a world where that knowledge has real economic value.
The best trip you've ever taken shouldn't disappear. It should become a foundation for the next traveler, getting richer and more refined over time.
We're hiring across engineering, design, and travel operations. If this resonates, we should talk.
