Quick Clean, a Gurugram-based institutional laundry startup, raised ₹133 crore (about $14 million) in a Series B funding round led by Stakeboat Capital, with Alkemi Growth Capital and Blue Ashva Capital also participating, the company announced. The fresh capital will be used to expand its footprint across India, including Tier II and III cities, and invest in AI-driven operations and sustainability technologies.
Founded in 2010 by brothers Anshul and Ankur Gupta, Quick Clean provides end-to-end laundry management services to hotels and hospitals, including equipment, consultancy, and manpower. The startup has established over 1,500 laundries in 38 cities and operates more than 110 on-premise laundry facilities within client premises. Its clientele includes major hospitality and healthcare chains such as Marriott, Taj, Hyatt, Radisson, ITC Hotels, AIIMS, Lilavati Hospital, and Bombay Hospital, according to inc42.com.
The funding will support Quick Clean’s plan to scale its network to over 500 on-premise laundry facilities in the next five years. The startup aims to enhance operational efficiency through AI-led automation, predictive maintenance, and sustainability initiatives that reduce water consumption, energy use, and carbon emissions. Quick Clean claims to use about 8 litres of water per kilogram of linen processed, significantly lower than the industry average of nearly 24 litres.
Quick Clean’s expansion and technology upgrades reflect growing demand for outsourced laundry services in hospitality and healthcare sectors. The company’s focus on sustainability and efficiency aligns with broader industry trends toward resource conservation. The startup’s next milestone includes scaling its on-premise laundry operations to more than 500 facilities within five years, as stated by inc42.com.
