Gokulam Group chairman and renowned entrepreneur Gokulam Gopalan has invested Rs 25 crore in Travlounge, a Kerala-based highway amenities startup. Travlounge offers clean restrooms, sleeping pods, and beverage counters for highway travelers.
Startup’s Early Support and Growth
Travlounge was initially backed three years ago by Abdul Azeez Chovanchery of AZCCO Global with a seed investment of Rs 8 crore. It is promoted by Kozhikode-based Beacon Group. The startup already has functional outlets at Walayar (Palakkad) and Adimali (near Munnar).
Focus on National Expansion
Co-founder P.T. Safeer said the aim is to expand Travlounge lounges across India, making premium roadside services more accessible to travelers throughout the country.
App Launch and Publicity
Travlounge’s mobile app was launched in Kozhikode by Kerala Tourism Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas. The event saw participation from Gokulam Gopalan, actress Mamta Mohandas (the brand ambassador), director V.K. Shamnas, and AZCCO Global MD Abdul Azeez Chovanchery.
