Mumbai, India, July 17, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The start-up plans to expand its footsteps to tier 2 and tier 3 cities in the upcoming months and is quite distinct from other startups, so much so that it trains and assigns all handy-men before signing them up on the platform. In India, this segment has received great VC interest, though there is a fervid movement with more than 69 home solutions firms being founded in 2014. Speaking about funding, Anubhab Goel, CEO, Zimmber, said:

“We are building a world class product that will revolutionize the startup scene in the daily maintenance of households. Investments from such great businesses such as InMobi endorse our capabilities and help us in adding value as a technology firm.”

Zimmber was set up in 2014 by Anubhab Goel, Gaurav Shrivastava and Amit Kumar — Zimmber provides home services like home painting, AC services, plumbing, carpentry, and home cleaning, to mention a few.

Before this round of funding, Praveen Sinha (Co-founder and MD – Jabong) and Satyam Bansal (Director Mobile App Distribution and Strategic Alliances – Flipkart) also invested in the company.

Speaking about the belief behind the investment, InMobi’s CEO Naveen Tewari said,
“I always believe in backing up a team that is super passionate and loves to work with each other. India is primarily a service economy and when it comes to day to day home services, we all tend to suffer. Zimmber is solving a real life problem we all face each day. This is high time when a company like Zimmber does the comprehensive and holistic work on uplifting the ecosystem. We believe in the model and team and would continue to back Zimmber in our own ways. This is a huge market opportunity and Zimmber is well poised to solve the problem.”
