New Delhi, India: At just 18, Kartik Nikas began his entrepreneurial journey in the travel industry, driven by an interest in travel, marketing and the changing way young Indians experience destinations. For him, travel gradually became more than reaching a place—it became about people, experiences, culture and discovering something beyond everyday life.
His journey started with Travelznex in Khatauli, Uttar Pradesh, where he began gaining hands-on experience in travel operations, sales, customer coordination and digital marketing. Over time, this experience evolved into Safarnex, a young-led travel agency now based in Delhi.

Where Marketing Meets Travel
Kartik’s background in marketing and digital promotion has shaped Safarnex’s digital-first approach. Social media, digital storytelling and community-driven communication are used to connect young travellers with destinations and experiences.
Connecting Gen-Z With Spirituality
A key focus of Safarnex is bringing Gen-Z closer to India’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
Through journeys such as Ek Dham, Do Dham and Char Dham, the company aims to make spiritual travel more approachable for younger travellers while retaining the depth and significance of these experiences.
The Weekend Travel Culture
Alongside spiritual journeys, Safarnex focuses on weekend getaways and short experiential trips, giving students, young professionals and travellers opportunities to step away from routine and explore new destinations.
The Vision
Kartik’s vision goes beyond selling travel packages. Safarnex aims to create experiences where young travellers can:
Explore India • Experience Culture • Connect With People • Discover Spirituality
From Travelznex to Safarnex, the journey continues with a simple idea: travel can take you somewhere new—and sometimes help you discover a new side of yourself.
