Laundry infrastructure firm Quick Clean has raised $14 million in a Series B round led by Stakeboat Capital. The funds will drive expansion into Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets and enhance its AI-powered laundry technology. The company plans to grow its facility network to over 500 locations within five years.
Quick Clean, an infrastructure company focused on on-premise laundry solutions, has successfully closed a $14 million Series B funding round. The investment was led by Stakeboat Capital, with continued participation from existing backers Alkemi Growth Capital and Blue Ashva Capital. This fresh capital follows a Series A round of approximately $5.7 million secured by the company in February 2025.
Scaling Operations and Technology
The company plans to use these funds to aggressively scale its operations across India and establish a presence in international markets, specifically Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Beyond geographical growth, a significant portion of the capital is designated for upgrading the company's technology stack. This includes investments in artificial intelligence, automation, and predictive maintenance systems intended to improve laundry efficiency and sustainability across its client facilities.
Business Model and Client Base
Founded in 2010 by Anshul Gupta and Ankur Gupta, Quick Clean operates on a build-own-operate model. Instead of relying on centralized, off-site laundry services, the company installs and manages laundry facilities directly on the premises of its clients. This approach is designed to eliminate the logistical costs and delays associated with transporting large volumes of linen.
Currently, Quick Clean manages over 140 facilities across 38 cities in India, processing roughly 100,000 kilograms of linen per day. The firm maintains a workforce of more than 1,500 employees. Its client portfolio includes prominent hospitality groups such as Marriott, Taj, Hyatt, Radisson, and ITC Hotels, alongside major healthcare institutions like AIIMS, Lilavati Hospital, and Bombay Hospital.
Growth Strategy and Outlook
The company has set a target to increase its facility network from the current 140 locations to more than 500 within the next five years. While this expansion aims to capture higher market share in the hospitality and healthcare sectors, the success of this strategy will depend on the firm's ability to maintain service quality while managing the risks associated with rapid scaling, including operational execution and cost control across different geographical regions.
Investors may track the company’s progress regarding the commissioning of these new facilities and its ability to maintain profit margins while investing heavily in new automation technologies. Monitoring the pace of international market entry and the stability of its long-term partnerships with major hotel and hospital chains will be key to understanding the company's long-term growth trajectory.
