Founding Operator Programme · 2026

The traveller is qualified.
The introduction is personal.

VELA's concierge verifies intent before you receive a single enquiry.

VELA is a concierge introduction platform — not a marketplace, not a broker, not a booking engine. We qualify the traveller, confirm the brief, and make a direct introduction to the right operator. You close. We step back. Ten founding operators. Reviewed personally.

Interest registered.

We review every application against our live route demand intelligence. If selected, you will hear from Naveen directly within 48 hours.

10 founding operator places only · Selected against live route demand data · Reviewed personally by Naveen Chigurupalli

01
Every traveller is qualified before you hear from us
VELA's concierge verifies route, dates, budget, and intent before any introduction is made. You receive a structured brief — not a speculative enquiry. No tyre-kickers. No wasted time.
02
An introduction, not a transaction
VELA connects the traveller to you directly. You quote, you contract, you collect. VELA earns an introduction fee from you in Phase 2 — after the value is proven. Zero fees in Phase 1.
03
Priority placement before the marketplace opens
Founding operators are positioned ahead of all subsequent onboarding when VELA's Phase 2 marketplace launches. Your position in the platform is earned during Phase 1 — not purchased later.
