Falling Rupee Makes Foreign Trips Costlier: Bengaluru Founder Warns Indian Travelers

  • Bengaluru founder Aditya Kulkarni highlights how the weakening rupee impacts foreign travel, especially hotel costs.
  • A budget of ₹25,000 per night now barely covers an Ibis in London or a small room in Tokyo's Ginza.
  • Southeast Asia remains a better value for Indian travelers due to easier flights, hospitality, and affordable stays.
  • Debate arises on who is most affected: middle-class travelers feel the pinch more than the ultra-rich.
  • Domestic travel costs are also rising, with Delhi hotel tariffs surging due to high demand from an AI summit.
