Tripician launches AI collaborative itinerary planning platform

On October 19, 2026, Kolkata, India-based startup Tripician is developing a travel planning platform. Its AI assistant Navia proposes itinerary modifications in group chats; all recommended locations are first verified against real-time Places data, then assessed for feasibility based on real distances and business hours. The platform's planning and community features are free, while AI use is paid per credits. A wallet and pay-per-use billing flow have been built, and subscription, supplier partnership and booking referral revenue are being explored subsequently.
