About us
Leading the charge in Indian R&D, crafting true Indian products with pride.
Our Calling
For our Final year engineering project, we debated between Spacetech and Renewable technology, but when we saw Dyson's Vacuum cleaner and on the other hand the mops Indian homes, We felt this needed to change.
Our Foundation Story
The
Revelation
Moment
The ordinary mop seemed like a problem worth reimagining.
When we discussed it with our professor, Dr. Sharath Chandra, he laughed and
said, "Build one for my house too!" His encouragement sparked our journey.
Research &
Development
As we explored the market, we found that top-of-the-line mopping tech—a German machine—cost around Rs 40,000. Meanwhile, in the U.S., most people used the Swiffer, an affordable yet environmentally unsustainable option with disposable wipes. Swiffer's success highlighted the demand for fast-clean, convenience and innovation, motivating us to create an eco-conscious, user-friendly alternative for India.
The
Balancing Act
To sustain our product development expenses, Mehul took up a job at The Math Company while Yogindra shouldered additional responsibilities for product development. Simultaneously, we prepared ourselves for the Elevate program. Despite the demanding schedule, they emerged victorious and secured funding through the Elevate program.
