This week, we have SpruceShine in the house!

Do you know the laundry market in India is valued at $35.83 B in FY2020 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4.96% through FY2026? Currently, 95% of the market is dominated by unorganized players with a major whitespace up for grabs.

Enter SpruceShine

Spruce Shine is an online laundry services platform that enables homemakers, local tailors & boutiques, students, and wannapreneurs to set up their own laundry business. The platform further provides them with the right tools to set up their garment care business without the need to set up a back-end supply chain.

We're excited to inform you that Spruceshine has already onboarded a healthy hoard of resellers and is all set to launch its pilot programme this month in Delhi-NCR and Surat!

There may be many garment care businesses, but SpruceShine holds a significant competitive advantage over them. Want to know what it is? Check their Investor Dossier!
