Wify is a Mumbai-based technology platform founded in 2019 that provides on-demand verified technicians for home installation, maintenance, and post-purchase services, helping brands like IKEA, Livspace, Homelane, and Hettich manage the full product lifecycle from assembly to warranty.[3][4][5] It serves e-commerce brands and consumers in the home improvement sector by addressing the critical gap in India's non-DIY market for durable goods like furniture and appliances, using proprietary tech to skill blue-collar workers into micro-entrepreneurs via a gig marketplace.[1][3] With over ₹34.4 Cr in FY24 revenue, $7M+ in seed funding (last round June 2024), 202 employees, and strong growth, Wify has become the largest player in on-site services, creating thousands of jobs.[3][4][5]
Wify was co-founded in 2019 by Vikram Sharma (CEO), an industrial engineer with an MBA from Harvard Business School, prior experience as CEO of BP Ergo and Husco Hydraulics India, McKinsey consultant, and co-founder of Carcrew; and Deepanshu Goel (COO), an engineer with an MBA from Carnegie Mellon, who worked at IBM, Amazon Air, and Alexa teams in Seattle.[3] The idea emerged from the booming online sales of durable goods like furniture and appliances in India, where DIY installation fails due to cultural and skill gaps—Wify positioned itself as the B2B solution for last-mile assembly and setup.[3] Early traction came from partnering with over 100 brands, scaling to dominance through its tech platform for order management, technician skilling, and gig matching, hitting seed funding and revenue milestones by FY24.[3][4][5]

Wify rides the explosive growth of India's e-commerce for durables—furniture and appliances—where online purchases surge but installation remains a pain point, especially in a DIY-unfriendly market.[3] Timing aligns with rising consumer demand for seamless post-purchase experiences amid platforms like IKEA and Livspace expanding, plus gig economy tailwinds creating blue-collar opportunities.[1][3][4] Market forces like urbanization, premium home goods boom, and brands outsourcing last-mile ops favor Wify, positioning it as a key enabler in the $10B+ home services sector while influencing skilling trends and reducing brand churn through reliable service.[3][5]
Wify's momentum—₹34.4 Cr revenue, recent seed funding, and brand dominance—sets it up for series A expansion, potentially into new categories like white goods maintenance or pan-India scaling.[4][5] Trends like AI-driven matching, deeper warranty integrations, and gig worker formalization will shape its path, amplifying influence in India's home tech ecosystem.[3] As e-commerce durables hit new highs, Wify could redefine post-purchase as a revenue driver for brands, evolving from installer to full lifecycle partner—watch for acquisition interest from larger players. This builds on its core strength: bridging online sales gaps with skilled, on-demand execution.[3][5]
Wify has raised $3.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $3.0M Seed in June 2024.
