The problem

Fragmented discovery

Hotel booking sites, event planners, Instagram accounts, WhatsApp groups, word of mouth. No single platform to discover and compare retreats.

No transparent pricing

"Contact for quote" on 90% of retreat venues. HR teams waste weeks on email chains just to get basic rates.

Western platforms, Indian needs

Airbnb, Booking.com don't understand corporate offsites. No filters for conference rooms, dietary restrictions, or team activities.

3-4 weeks

Average time an HR team spends planning a corporate offsite

15+ emails

Competition

Platform	Focus	Weakness
MakeMyTrip	Generic hotel booking	No retreat curation, no team-building filters, no AI matching
Cleartrip	Flights-first OTA	Hotels are afterthought, no corporate offsite features
Thrillophilia	Activities & experiences	Tour packages, not retreat venues. No corporate focus.
retreat.in	Retreat-first, AI-matched	New entrant (but that's our advantage)

retreat.in is the only India-native, retreat-first marketplace with AI matching and transparent pricing.
