I found thirty high velocity stars that have large V - K values compared to standard stars of similar spectral types indicating the possible presence of late-type companion stars. All these thirty stars are relatively bright nearby stars with accurate Gaia DR3 parallaxes and radial velocities. There is hardly any relevant literature on these stars. There are 18 high galactic latitude stars in this sample. In order to further understand their chemical composition, evolutionary status, binary companions and how these stars acquired high radial velocities high resolution spectroscopy, radial velocity and photometric monitoring studies are very much needed.
