Clean Fanatics, a niche marketplace for home services focused on premium offerings, raised Rs 17 crore (approximately $2 million) in seed funding for expanding the team, technology upgrade, and establishing new verticals like civil construction and home remodeling.

The funding was led by Gurugram-based venture firm Inflection Point Ventures, with funding from Blume Founders Fund, Let's Ventures, Trica, TiE Angels, and other noted angel investors.

Established in October 2024, Clean Fanatics provides services such as deep cleaning, painting, marble polishing, and civil renovations.

The company is headed by B.J. Arun, a serial entrepreneur who was the erstwhile chief executive of July Systems, which was acquired by Cisco Systems in 2018; Librato, bought over by SolarWinds in 2014, and California Digital. He has also been president of TiE Silicon Valley in 2020 and chairman of the TiE Global Board of Trustees in 2022.

COO Nishant Prasad, NIT Surat and IIM Mumbai alum, has previously been in leadership positions at Glenmark, Hewlett-Packard, and Renoir Consulting. He has been operating profitable home services businesses over the last 10+ years.

"Raising funds with the support of Inflection Point Ventures has been a very fulfilling experience. Their due diligence process was incredibly stringent, which is testament to the intensity of their passion for investing in businesses with sound fundamentals. We are thrilled to have IPV on our journey as we grow Clean Fanatics to greater heights," says BJ Arun, Co-Founder & CEO, Clean Fanatics.

Clean Fanatics asserts that its customer-centric strategy has resulted in 40% of its revenue through word-of-mouth referrals. The startup reported that it cleans over 2,500 houses in a month and gets an average of Rs 2 crore in monthly revenue from Bengaluru, India's Silicon Valley, alone.

"The home related services is a huge untapped market with very few companies currently filling this gap. Considering the geography of India and growth in disposable incomes, we do believe that this market will keep growing and platforms that can deliver best in class services to their consumers and good business to their service partners will be the long term winners", said Mitesh Shah, Co-Founder, IPV.

Clean Fanatics also stated that it has increased its top line by 8x in the last 24 months. "What impressed us about IPV was the pace, transparency and the intent to exceed the normal funding due diligence", states Nishant Prasad, Co-Founder & COO, Clean Fanatics.
