Trovio
About Trovio

Built for the Indian traveler.
By Indian travelers.

Trovio was founded in Bangalore in 2024 with a simple mission: Indian travelers shouldn't have to pay ₹5,000 for connectivity that costs ₹1,000 everywhere else — or lose access to their bank OTPs because they swapped their SIM at the airport.

Our Mission

Priced for India

Every plan in INR. Pay with UPI — PhonePe, GPay, Paytm. No credit card, no forex markup, no converting USD in your head at the airport.

📱

Keeps your Indian number

Dual SIM architecture means your Jio/Airtel stays active. Bank OTPs, WhatsApp, family calls — all working, exactly as if you were in India.

Real local speeds

We partner directly with primary local networks — Docomo in Japan, e& in UAE, Singtel in Singapore. You get local customer speeds, not roaming-throttled data.

Our Story

It started with a ₹6,000 Jio roaming bill from a 5-day Tokyo trip. The data was 1 GB/day, throttled after 500 MB, and the support number was based in India (helpful during IST business hours, not at midnight in Shinjuku).

We looked at alternatives. Airalo was cheaper but charged in USD and required a credit card. The airport SIM counters meant a 45-minute queue at Narita. And all of them required you to swap your Indian SIM — losing access to your bank OTPs for the entire trip.

Trovio exists because none of the existing solutions were built with Indian travelers in mind. We built the product we wanted: instant eSIM, priced in ₹, paid via UPI, with your Indian number staying fully active the entire time.

Editorial Policy

Every price on Trovio is verified at time of publication and marked with a verification date. We update pricing tables when rates change. Competitor prices are sourced from their official apps and websites, converted to INR at the prevailing exchange rate which is noted on each comparison.

Our guides are written from real experience. When we say "we tested," we mean it — actual devices, actual destinations, actual data usage logged. We don't write about connectivity experiences we haven't had.
