Teleport

Teleport is a travel technology startup that provides a platform to simplify and streamline the international travel visa application process. Founded in 2022 by Nikita Dresswala, the company was established to address the complexities and stress associated with obtaining visas. Dresswala, who holds a CA and an MBA from INSEAD, was inspired to create the company after her own challenging experiences with visa processes during a cycling trip across Southeast Asia.

The company's core service is a user-friendly platform that assists travelers with documentation, automates form filling, and provides guided steps to increase visa approval rates. It caters to both individual travelers and B2B clients, including over 100 travel agents and companies who use the platform for visa processing. The business model involves charging for visa processing services, with transparent pricing for applications to over 40 countries. In addition to its primary visa services, Teleport has expanded to offer related travel infrastructure products like insurance, forex, and e-SIMs.

In August 2023, Teleport secured $500,000 in a pre-seed funding round from investors including Kunal Shah (CRED), Vidit Aatrey (Meesho), and firms like Appreciate Capital and FAAD Network. This followed a $100,000 grant from Peak XV's (formerly Sequoia) Spark program earlier the same year. The funds were aimed at enhancing the platform's technology, improving user interfaces, and expanding its distribution through partnerships. As of August 2025, Teleport was acquired by StampMyVisa, a B2B visa platform, in a strategic move to combine Teleport's consumer-facing brand with StampMyVisa's scalable infrastructure.
