Gurgaon Based Auto Repair Startup - Fixcraft.in Raises Seed Funding

Fixcraft.in, a full-stack cloud garage startup, repairs and maintains your vehicle in a 21st century transparent, trustworthy and convenient way. Consumers can book auto repairs through the app, have door-step pick-up and drop and track all work through real-time images on the app to bring trust and transparency in this highly organized sector.

The company was founded by Vivek Sharma on October 2018. A Marine Engineer and an IIM Bangalore graduate, Vivek has been associated with companies like Philips, Snapdeal and Auto Marketplace Droom in senior management roles.

Commenting on the development, Vivek Sharma, founder, and CEO, Fixcraft.in said, “We started Fixcraft with a very clear vision to enable excellent quality car services to be available to everyone at a fair price. The point that the current services are either available at OEM authorized workshops at a very high price or at local workshops where the quality of work may be questionable, we saw a clear gap where a top-class standardized quality work needed to be made available to car owners. The key value propositions from Fixcraft are quality at a fair price and convenience by the means of using top class material in the work, handpicked well-trained technicians, upfront and fixed pricing and doorstep pick and drop. It’s a true e-commerce experience in this category.”

Fixcraft has recently raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from a prominent set of angel investors. The round saw participation from Mr. Ranjan Kant, who was Director at the Furniture Republic and CBO at Ofbusiness, and Mr. Rahul Taneja, ex CBO, Jabong along with the existing investors in the company. The company also boasts of the very strong advisory team with likes of Mr. Rishab Malik who has been associated with Auto Marketplace Droom and GSF India in the past.

Commenting on Fixcraft.in Rishab Malik says, “Fixcraft is the future of auto repair, Vivek’s relentless focus on customer-centricity, transparency and convenience is commendable. Today’s consumer doesn’t need to be hostage to authorized dealer pricing nor to the lack of trust of a street-side mechanic. A technology-driven approach can solve some of the legacy issues the industry has suffered from thus far.”

Elaborating on their investment, Mr. Kant said, “We, as car owners have always had to compromise on either price or quality of repair services. When we came across Fixcraft and the way they are solving the problem in this area, it was very exciting. Fixcraft’s focus on customer experience is commendable and is very heartening to see in the current times where startups tend to compromise everything for scale. We are very thrilled to be part of this journey and would love to see how this promising sector plays out.”

Fixcraft is currently operational in Delhi NCR with plans to launch in Pune and Bangalore in next few weeks.
