Pidilite Ventures, a subsidiary of Pidilite Industries Limited, has announced an investment of INR 5 crore in Wify (Installco Wify Technology Private Limited), a leading platform for home improvement and maintenance services.

This pre-Series A funding round was led by Capria and Mount Judi Ventures, with additional participation from Blume Ventures.

The funds from this round will accelerate Wify's growth, allowing the company to enhance its technology stack, expand services, and solidify its market position.

We are excited to leverage Pidilite's expertise in this sector."

Wify, founded in 2019 by Vikram Sharma and Deepanshu Goel, is a full-stack B2B2C platform offering installation and maintenance services for consumer durables.

The company serves both local and global brands such as IKEA, Godrej, Amazon, and Panasonic, among others.

With over 3,000 technicians on its platform, Wify operates in more than 80 cities across India, catering to home improvement retailers, e-commerce companies, and interior design services.

Sanket Parekh, Director at Pidilite Ventures, emphasised the alignment of this investment with Pidilite's strategic focus. He remarked, "India's home improvement sector is growing rapidly and offers substantial potential. We are pleased to back Wify, whose innovative approach to home improvement services will greatly benefit customers."
