Housejoy

Headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, the company offers services such as home cleaning, appliance repair, plumbing, electrical work, painting, and home renovation.

Key facts

Background

Housejoy was launched as a home services marketplace, part of a wave of Indian start-ups during the mid-2010s that sought to organise the largely unorganised home services sector. The platform aggregates independent technicians and service partners across categories, allowing customers to book services through a website or mobile application.

Services

The company's offerings span several categories of household and property-related needs:

• Home and bathroom deep cleaning
• Appliance repair and servicing, including air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and microwaves
• Plumbing and electrical repairs
• Painting and waterproofing
• Home renovation and interior design
• Pest control
• Carpentry

Operations

Housejoy operates in multiple Indian cities, with Bengaluru as its principal market. Bookings are processed through the company's digital platform, and services are delivered by professionals who are either directly affiliated with the company or onboarded through partner agencies. In addition to one-time service bookings, the company offers annual maintenance contracts and packages for renovation and construction work.

Significance

Housejoy is among the early entrants in India's organised home services market, a segment that includes competitors such as Urban Company. The company's expansion into home renovation and construction services reflects a broader trend of Indian on-demand platforms moving from single-task bookings to higher-value, project-based services.
