Thrillophilia is an Indian Tours and Activities company headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan. It was founded by Chitra Gurnani and Abhishek Daga in 2011. In its initial years, Thrillophilia focused on online sales of adventure tours but it later expanded to being a marketplace of tours and activities across Asia.
The corporate outdoor and experiential learning model adopted by Thrillophilia in its early days, has proven to be of great significance since it was fairly new concept in India.[2]

As of today, Thrillophilia employs over 40 people.[8]
