The opportunity

India washes clothes every day. Almost nobody does it professionally.

The Indian laundry market is massive — yet overwhelmingly unorganised. Urban households are switching to professional services fast, and organised brands are capturing that shift.

Who we are

The Dhobimate story

Dhobimate started in Bengaluru with a simple observation: everyone needs laundry done, and almost no one enjoys doing it — yet the only options were unreliable local setups or expensive premium chains.

We built the middle path: professional-grade cleaning at neighbourhood prices, powered by an app, WhatsApp booking, doorstep pickup and a tagged, tracked, 8-step process that treats every garment like our own.

Today, with 2,00,000+ orders delivered and 15,000+ repeat customers, the playbook is proven. The processes are documented. The brand is trusted. What we need now are ambitious partners to take Dhobimate to every neighbourhood in India.

That’s where you come in.

The Dhobimate difference

Why franchisees choose us over going solo

Anyone can buy washing machines. Building a laundry business takes brand, systems and demand — that’s what we hand you on day one.

App + WhatsApp ordering built in

Your customers book through the Dhobimate app and WhatsApp from day one — no tech to build, no software costs to figure out.

A brand customers already trust

4.9-star rated with 1,00,000+ ratings. You open with credibility that takes independent stores years to earn.

The 8-step process, documented

Tagging, sorting, spot treatment, washing, finishing — every SOP is written down and trained, so quality is consistent from day one.

Marketing done with you

Launch campaigns, local ads, social content and offer strategies — run by the brand team so you can focus on operations.

Recurring revenue by design

Laundry isn't a one-time sale. A single acquired household orders week after week, year after year.

Multiple revenue streams

Laundry, dry cleaning, ironing, shoes, sofa, carpet and curtain cleaning — one store, seven ways to earn from every household.

Franchise FAQs

Questions serious investors ask us

No. Most of our partners come from IT, retail, real estate and other backgrounds. Our 2-week training program and documented SOPs cover operations end to end — what we look for is commitment and a service mindset.

It depends on your location, model and local demand. Because laundry is a weekly repeat need, revenue compounds as your customer base grows. We'll walk you through realistic unit economics for your specific territory during the discovery call.

Our structure includes a one-time franchise fee and an ongoing revenue share that funds the tech platform, brand marketing and your operations support. Because costs vary significantly by city, site size and model, we share complete figures — including projected unit economics — in a personal discussion. Reach out and we'll walk you through everything.

Owner-operated stores perform best, especially in the first year. However, an owner-supervised model with a trained store manager is possible — we'll help you structure it.

Each franchise gets a defined exclusive territory based on population density and demand mapping. We never open a competing Dhobimate outlet inside your territory.

Three ways: the Dhobimate app and website route orders in your territory to you automatically; brand-led digital marketing drives local demand; and your launch campaign builds neighbourhood awareness from day one.
