Numerous youngsters annually aspire to be part of IIT and then get a high-paying job in a prestigious company. However, some people aren’t driven by this and instead quit it to do something of their own. One such motivational story is of Arunabh Sinha, a Bihar native, and his wife Gunjan Sinha who started a laundry business.
After graduating from IIT, he began earning Rs 84 lakh a year until he chose to quit the job.
Arunabh was raised in a small house in Bhagalpur. Being a good student, he then began preparing for the IIT in Class 8. Thereafter, he was accepted to IIT Bombay. His family struggled to pay for his college education due to financial constraints.
Thereafter, he moved overseas. In 2015, he tied the knot. Then, he started his first venture -Franglobal. He later sold it to Franchise India and ventured into the hospitality sector in 2015. He then joined Tribo Hotels.
There he handled the operations of various budget hotels in Northern India. It was then that he noticed an evolving gap in the sector of the laundry business.
Subsequently, the couple then chose to start a laundry company and offer quality services. Later, he quit his work in August 2016, they invested Rs 20 lakh to start the laundromat business UClean in January 2017. Today, the company is worth around Rs 110 crore.
By 2017, UClean expanded and ventured into Hyderabad and Pune.
Currently, UClean has more than 350 stores in 104 cities across India. It has already extended to Bangladesh, and Nepal, and is expected to venture in Africa and the Middle East.
He is now also known as 'IIT Laundrywala'. His company Uclean also became the fastest brand in the history of India, to reach 200 franchises
