AI-powered laundry solutions provider Quick Clean has secured US$14 million (approximately ₹133 crore) in a Series B funding round led by Stakeboat Capital, with continued participation from existing investors Alkemi Growth Capital and Blue Ashva Capital.
The fresh capital will support the company's expansion to more than 500 on-premise laundry facilities across the hospitality and healthcare sectors. It will also be used to strengthen Quick Clean's AI-driven capabilities by investing in automation, predictive maintenance, advanced laundry systems and sustainability-focused technologies.
Anshul Gupta, Founder & CEO, Quick Clean, said: “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.”
He also added, “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.”
The company plans to deploy the newly raised capital to expand its footprint to more than 500 on-premise laundry facilities over the next five years. The funds will also be invested in advancing AI-powered solutions, automation, predictive maintenance capabilities and sustainability-focused technologies to enhance operational efficiency.
Girish Patil, Managing Director, Stakeboat Capital, said: “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, said: “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.”
Established in 2010 by Anshul Gupta and Ankur Gupta, Quick Clean provides institutional laundry infrastructure through its Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model. The company currently operates more than 140 on-premise laundry facilities across 38 cities, processing over 100,000 kilograms of linen daily with a workforce of over 1,500 employees.
Its clientele includes leading hospitality chains such as Marriott, Taj, Hyatt, Radisson and ITC Hotels, along with major healthcare institutions including AIIMS, Lilavati Hospital and Bombay Hospital.
Quick Clean said its on-premise laundry model consumes approximately eight litres of water per kilogram of linen processed, significantly lower than the industry average of around 24 litres. To date, the company claims to have saved more than 457 million litres of water while preventing over 60 million kilograms of carbon emissions through its operations.
