Announcement
Quick Clean, India’s leading On-Premise Laundry Infrastructure company, has raised US$14 million (INR 133 crore) in its Series B funding round. The investment, led by Stakeboat Capital with continued support from Alkemi Growth Capital and Blue Ashva Capital, reinforces Quick Clean’s leadership in institutional laundry infrastructure and accelerates its ambition to become the world’s largest on-premise laundry infrastructure company.
The fresh capital will be deployed to accelerate Quick Clean’s expansion across India, strengthen investments in AI-led laundry operations, automation, predictive maintenance, and sustainability technologies. Over the next five years, the company aims to expand its network to more than 500 on-premise laundry facilities across hospitality and healthcare, create significant employment opportunities, deepen its technology capabilities, and help customers improve operational efficiency while reducing water consumption, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Anshul Gupta, Founder & CEO, Quick Clean: “When we started Quick Clean in 2010, we were not trying to build another laundry company. We were trying to solve a problem that every hotel and hospital had simply accepted as inevitable. We believed laundry could be managed more professionally, more sustainably and with complete accountability. Today, that belief has grown into India’s leading on-premise laundry platform. This investment is not merely a validation of our business, it is a validation of an entirely new way of thinking about laundry infrastructure. Our ambition is bold yet clear, to build the world’s largest on-premise laundry infrastructure company. We want every hotel and every hospital to focus entirely on creating exceptional guest and patient experiences, while we become the trusted partner to manage one of their most critical operations. The next five years will represent the most significant chapter in Quick Clean’s journey. Our ambition is to scale from India’s leading on-premise laundry company to one of the world’s largest institutional laundry infrastructure platforms. We are committed to operating more than 500 on-premise laundry facilities while extending our model beyond India into Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The opportunity ahead is substantial, and this investment provides the foundation to build a truly global company born in India.”
Girish Patil, Managing Director, Stakeboat Capital: “Quick Clean has built a differentiated institutional laundry platform underpinned by strong operational capabilities and proprietary process know-how. Its integrated on-premise model, supported by long-standing partnerships with global OEMs, delivers superior service quality and compelling sustainability benefits to leading hospitality and healthcare institutions. Anshul, Ankur along with team members have demonstrated a strong track record of execution, innovation and scaling complex operations. As India’s hospitality and healthcare sectors continue to expand, we believe Quick Clean is uniquely positioned to further strengthen its market leadership. We are delighted to partner with Quick Clean in building India’s pre-eminent institutional laundry services platform.”
Alka Goel, Founder, Alkemi Growth Capital: “Our conviction in Quick Clean has only grown stronger over the years. As hygiene standards, infection prevention and sustainability become increasingly important, Quick Clean continues to demonstrate exceptional execution and category leadership. We are delighted to deepen our partnership and support the company in its next phase of growth.”
Company Background
Founded in 2010 by brothers Anshul and Ankur Gupta, Quick Clean pioneered India’s Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model for institutional laundry with the belief that laundry should be viewed as mission-critical infrastructure rather than a back-end support service.
The company enables hotels and hospitals to outsource laundry operations while retaining complete on-premise control, operational transparency, and service excellence. Unlike conventional outsourcing models where linen is transported off-site, Quick Clean owns and operates the complete on-premise infrastructure, including equipment, technology, manpower, and operational accountability, allowing customers to focus entirely on delivering exceptional guest experiences and patient care.
Current Scale & Operations
- Facilities: 140+ on-premise laundry facilities across 38+ cities.
- Capacity: Processes over 100,000 kilograms of linen daily.
- Workforce: Employs 1,500+ professionals.
- Clients: Serves leading hospitality and healthcare institutions including Marriott, Taj, Hyatt, Radisson, ITC Hotels, AIIMS, Lilavati Hospital, Bombay Hospital, and several other premium providers.
Sustainability Impact
Sustainability has remained central to Quick Clean’s operating philosophy since inception.
- Operates at 8 litres of water per kilogram of linen processed, compared with the industry average of 24 litres.
- Saved 457 million litres of water to date.
- Prevented 60 million kilograms of carbon emissions.
- Enabled institutions to improve ESG performance while reducing operating costs.
Future Vision
As India’s hospitality and healthcare sectors expand, rising hygiene standards, labour shortages, operational complexity, and sustainability priorities are reshaping institutional laundry operations. Quick Clean believes professionally managed, technology-enabled, and sustainability-led on-premise laundry infrastructure will play an increasingly important role in helping institutions improve efficiency while meeting higher quality and environmental standards.
Looking ahead, Quick Clean plans to:
- Expand across Tier II and Tier III cities in India.
- Enter international markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
- Continue investing in AI, automation, and sustainability technologies.
- Build a truly global institutional laundry infrastructure company born in India.
