Our story

Two travellers who built an audience first.

Before we were marketers, we were travellers. Naved and Jes started a travel blog and community and grew it organically through first-hand stories, honest recommendations and consistent content.

That taught us how people discover a brand, decide to trust it and choose to buy. In 2021 we turned it into Staybucketlist Media. Today a 15-member team in Thane applies the same skills for hotels, developers, restaurants, lifestyle brands and public figures, with both founders on every account.

We don't just create content. We build brands and deliver growth.

Trusted by tourism boards

We have collaborated with destination organisations in India and abroad, and with brands across these markets.
