“Find Anything, Anywhere”: Bino Rolls Out Travel Vertical on WhatsApp, Hits 100,000 Vendors

Bengaluru, Karnataka May 25, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - A green chat bubble lights up on WhatsApp: Need Bali eSIM + scooter for week?
Ninety seconds later, three prepaid e-SIM links, two scooter-rental offershelmet photos includedand a one-tap payment button appear in the same thread. An Indian filmmaker, fresh off the red-eye from Mumbai, swaps digital SIMs before baggage claim, collects a mint-green Honda Scoopy at the arrivals gate, and rides straight to Canggus surf break. All sorted before I found my passport stamp, she texts back.

Scenes like this keep multiplying with Bino, the WhatsApp-based search platform that promises to find anything, anywhere. A travelleror any consumertypes a need in plain language, half-words or emojis; Binos hybrid engine of large-language-model parsing plus human QA funnels competing, price-checked options into the same chat in real time. The platform handles the chaotic, unstructured requests typical of life on the move, yet still supports structured catalogue bookings for flights, hotels, and transport.

From that foundation Bino has grown sideways into domains; its travel offshoot, Bino Travel, now connects users to more than 100,000 verified vendors across Indias tourist belt. If Bino is the town squaregroceries, repairs, tutoringBino Travel is the kiosk travellers tap when an itinerary frays abroad or a plan dissolves on an Indian highway. Together they form a single WhatsApp thread that begins at planning and stays open through every on-the-spot need.

Discovery is turning pay-to-play, founder Capt Karan Javaji notes, and the smallest vendors cant out-advertise brands. Binos onboardingsimple as a WhatsApp messagefeels more like swapping business cards than filling a dossier. Vendors pay nothing until a sale closes.

That low doorway explains the range: scooter kiosks in Bali, snow-jeep drivers in Gulmarg, craft-beer tours in Prague, homestays on the Konkan coast. Bino Ping, a quiet heartbeat in every chat, revisits past requestsstill need airport cab tomorrow?and surfaces fresh, personalised nudges without forcing sellers to buy ads.

Four Journeys, One Thread

Inside the Chat

  • WhatsApp-only, no extra app search, pay, and receive receipts inside one thread.

  • Unstructured search mastery emojis, voice notes, scribbles parsed as fluently as item codes.

  • Sub-90-second replies AI routes the query; humans sanity-check before links reach users.

  • Local mobility covered scooters, bikes, cabs, jeeps, kayaks, and every how do I get there? moment.

  • DealDrop pricing saves users an average 1,000 per booking while filling vendor off-peak slots.

  • One lakh+ vendors span taxis, rentals, eateries, adventure sports, and emergency logistics.

Users see only that answers arrive fast and prices feel grounded. Vendors see a feed of high-intent leads matched to their slack capacity. Nobody debates structured versus unstructured; the thread just handles both.

Bino's culture is one with a bias toward action. Where a traditional OTA demands a flight number, Bino is comfortable with late bus maybe? or a selfie of a broken sandal. The system extracts intent, scouts the vendor graph, and assembles vetted choices. One founder joke goes, If you can mumble it, we can map it.

What Comes Next

Binos team avoids grand forecasts. Expansion, they say, will follow need, not marketing plans. For now the focus is on tightening the loop: faster language switching, smoother refunds, deeper vendor analytics, and ever-quicker hand-offs between AI and humans. If future chapters involve voice AI or overseas corridors, they will arrive the same way the Bali scooter didinside one green bubble, exactly when someone asks.
