Our Story

🦅 aQUILLA ~ A Name with Wings, A Journey with Purpose

Aquilla isn’t just a name—it’s a vision.

The name "Aquilla", meaning Eagle, was chosen by co-founder Shikha, symbolizing freedom, clarity, strength, and the courage to soar to greater heights. Just like an eagle that rises above the storm and explores the vast skies without limits, Aquilla Travel India Capture Pvt Ltd was built on the belief that travel, too, can lift you beyond the ordinary—into discovery, growth, and unforgettable stories.

But Aquilla isn’t just about symbolism. It’s a story.
A story of two college best friends, Aakash and Shikha, and a dream born not in a startup incubator, but on campus benches, WhatsApp chats, scooty ride and countless dreams for trip destinations.

🚀 The Journey — How It All Started

What began as dreamy conversations between two friends slowly grew into something more meaningful.

From sharing dreams on whatsapp to planning that first short trip…
From that one trip turning into two, then twenty…
And from helping a few friends plan their getaways to building a trusted travel brand.

Aakash, the founder and original visionary, believed travel could change lives—not just his, but others' too. He imagined a travel platform that was raw, real, and deeply human.
Shikha, with her eye for identity and meaning, gave that dream its wings by naming it Aquilla, infusing the brand with direction, clarity, and a powerful story.

That’s how Aquilla Travel India Capture Pvt. Ltd. took flight.
