How it started
Founded in 2020 by visionaries at the crossroads of travel tech and user experience, CuddlyNest emerges during the COVID-19 pandemic to meet the pressing need for a platform designed to address all industry pain points.
Every journey begins with a bold step:
For Ritesh Raj, it started in Bihar — far from the world of travel tech. Decades of travel, 700+ flights, and 100+ countries later, he saw one truth: no platform truly served travelers in a unified way.
Over coffee in California, he met Haitham Saead, an entrepreneurial visionary who shared the same frustrations. And so CuddlyNest was born: Built through the pandemic, powered by AI, designed entirely in-house. From stays to flights to attractions, one unified travel platform to make travel seamless and fair, with transparent pricing and the lowest fees around.
Today, CuddlyNest brings together two decades of travel technology experience with the power of AI. The mission is clear: make travel easy, human, and smart. From Bihar to the world, our story is proof that grit, timing, and belief can transform how we explore.
