Explurger, the innovative social media platform built entirely in India, has announced a major global achievement, connecting over 18 million users worldwide. The app, co-founded by entrepreneur Jitin Bhatia and actor-philanthropist Sonu Sood, is leading a shift in digital engagement by uniquely blending social networking, travel logging, and gamified rewards.
Explurger has gained traction by encouraging users to actively “explurge” their moments—checking in at new places, documenting their trips, and connecting with fellow explorers. Unlike conventional platforms, the app’s core philosophy revolves around rewarding real-world exploration.
“Explurger was built to inspire real-world exploration, not endless scrolling,” says Jitin Bhatia, Founder & CEO. “This milestone validates our vision of creating a purpose-driven platform where every journey turns into a story worth sharing and every mile traveled is rewarded.”
Key Highlights of Explurger:
Automatic Travelogue: The app’s built-in AI automatically creates a digital travelogue, tracking the miles, cities, countries, and continents a user has visited.
Gamified Rewards: Users earn “Explurger Counts” for their activity and distance traveled, allowing them to level up and unlock exclusive rewards, deals, and discounts from partnered brands.
“Explurge-In” & Connection: The platform encourages meaningful connections by making it easy for travelers to share authentic experiences and discover new places recommended by others.
The homegrown platform’s rapid global expansion underscores India’s growing influence in the tech and digital innovation space, providing a strong response to the call for indigenous technology with worldwide appeal.
