About RoamWise
RoamWise is a founder-led travel planner based in Almora, a hill town in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. My name is Mohit Pandey. I lead the product with a small contributor team. We are building planning tools and a reviewed travel library with clear sources and correction dates.
About the founder
Mohit Pandey
Technology builder, author and AI-assisted music creator working from Almora, Uttarakhand.
Mohit Pandey is an Indian independent technology builder, author and creative producer. His work spans entertainment production, accessible technology writing, AI-assisted music and product development. He is a B.Tech graduate of the College of Technology, Pantnagar, and is based in Almora in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand.
He founded RoamWise to build practical travel-planning tools from outside a major technology hub. He leads product direction, software development, travel research, partnerships and day-to-day operations with a small contributor team. The product focuses on usable itineraries, complete-cost comparisons, quieter alternatives and clear sourcing rather than unsupported recommendations.
Screen and production work
Before RoamWise, Mohit worked across television and digital production. During an assistant-direction internship on Zindabaad (2018), he received an on-screen credit under “Asst Directors.” The political-action web series was produced by Vikram Bhatt's VB On The Web with JioCinema. The credit can be checked in the official episode's closing titles.

His earlier television experience also includes an on-screen appearance in an episode of C.I.D. The public record is linked as an episode appearance; this page does not assign a character name or a credited acting designation that is not shown in the available record.

Why I built it
I kept watching people plan trips badly, and I kept doing it myself. The pattern is always the same. You read a listicle that recommends the same six places everyone else recommends. You arrive in peak season with everyone else who read the same article. You compare prices that describe different services, underestimate transfers, or follow a crowded checklist that does not match your interests. You come home having spent more time moving and less time doing what brought you there.
None of that is because travellers are careless. It is because the information that would prevent it is scattered, out of date, or written by someone being paid to recommend a hotel. What is missing is not inspiration. There is plenty of inspiration. What is missing is a clear method: compare complete prices, group a route sensibly, check the responsible source and keep a workable alternative.
What RoamWise actually does
- Builds a draft itinerary and budget. The result helps organise a trip; live prices, transport, entry rules and conditions still need verification.
- Explains the complete decision. Our guides include last-mile transfers, shared costs, cancellation terms and the uncertainty behind an estimate.
- Publishes sources and corrections. Every article in the reviewed collection names the source, supported claim and checked date. Read the editorial policy.
- Supports saved travel information. Saved plans are designed to remain useful when connectivity is poor, subject to the device and app configuration.
How it makes money
I would rather tell you this plainly than have you wonder.
- The ₹100 Founder offer is a one-time payment. It's capped at the first 1,000 launch seats and, once bought, is never a subscription that quietly renews. Outside that launch offer, Plus/Pro/Elite are ongoing subscriptions (monthly or yearly), and there are separate, higher-priced one-time lifetime and long-term passes too — see Pricing for the full, current list.
- Affiliate commissions on some booking links. If you book after tapping through, RoamWise may earn a percentage. Relevant relationships must be disclosed and cannot buy an unsupported ranking.
- Advertising on the website, which is why there is a privacy policy explaining what that involves.
- Merchandise — printed travel tees, made to order.
What we do not do: sell your personal data, sell an unsupported ranking, or pay for false reviews. See the privacy policy for the data practices that apply to the service.
Things I will not build
People ask for features I have turned down, and the reasons are consistent enough to state publicly.
- Scraped contact databases. Harvesting emails and phone numbers from social platforms breaches their terms and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act. A public profile is not consent to be added to a marketing list.
- "Areas to avoid" lists. Safety advice about pricing and paperwork is checkable. Safety advice about neighbourhoods and people is usually prejudice wearing a helpful expression, and I would rather have no feature than that one.
- Fake urgency. Countdown timers here count to real deadlines. Seat counts show real numbers. When a founder offer closes it stays closed.
- Claims the app cannot support. The built-in engine, Ailon Tusk, is data and rules — travel guides, weather, cost models, mapped places. It is not a language model and the app says so.
The low-carbon side
Travel has a real climate cost and pretending otherwise helps nobody. RoamWise calculates emissions using published conversion factors from DEFRA/BEIS and IPCC AR6, shows lower-carbon alternatives for a given distance, and keeps a ledger of what you avoided.
One deliberate choice: the app says emissions avoided, never "carbon removed" or "climate reversed". Taking a train instead of a flight genuinely avoids emissions. It does not pull existing carbon out of the atmosphere. Overstating that would be greenwashing on your behalf, and an honest number is the only kind worth putting on a certificate.
