RTX / Roadtrip Experience Project
The travelling creative-community experiment that began ExCo's project history in 2014.
Independent coverage
The Experience Co. did not begin with its current name or formats. Independent reporting first covered RTX and F of X, then connected founder Jaytirth Ahya to the company now known as ExCo. This page makes that history explicit and links to the original sources.
Inclusion here records independent coverage; it does not imply that a publisher endorses ExCo or its current trips.
How the names connect

The continuity: RTX began as a project in 2014. Oxytocin Designs LLP, incorporated in Mumbai in 2016, currently owns the ExCo, Bucketlist and BHX names and intellectual property. Experience Collective Private Limited is an affiliated company incorporated in Bengaluru on 21 August 2025; ExCo's current booking terms name it as the contracting company. Jaytirth Ahya and Perry Jayantilal Ahya are listed across both company records.
Company-record links and access dates appear below. Brand/IP ownership and the company named in current booking terms are different roles and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Unrelated name: The Experience Co. (ExCo) is not the unrelated travel business referred to online as CoTravel, Cotravelin or "Co Travel". Reviews and forum posts about those names do not describe ExCo, Bucketlist or BHX.
