Founded by former Pinterest engineer Mohtak Nahta in 2020, Atlys is an online visa platform that claims to ensure on-time delivery of visas. The startup claims to provide the applicants an exact timeline for their visa arrival.
In September last year, Atlys raised $12 Mn in its Series A funding round co-led by Elevation Capital and Peak XV Partners.
Back then, the startup said the funding would help it strengthen its tech stack, expand its product line and recruit staff.
At the time, Atlys said it would use a portion of the capital to solidify its foothold in the global e-visa market, which is projected to reach a size of $4.03 Bn by 2032 from $1.82 Bn in 2023.
Atlys claims to have processed over 5 Lakh visas so far and enabled e-visa applications for over 100 countries from India, including UAE, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Argentina, Russia and Sri Lanka.
Atlys enables users to apply for a visa in under 3 minutes. Recently, it rolled out a refund feature to ensure financial security in case of visa rejection. All Atlys users are eligible for a refund up to INR 8,000 in the event of visa rejection, unless the user is banned from entering a country.
Atlys operates in both B2B and B2C segments and competes against the likes of VisaHQ and iVisa.com.
