Ecosys Raises Rs 5 Crore in Pre-Series A Funding Led by GVFL Prarambh Fund

Laundry and home cleaning brand Ecosys has raised Rs 5 crore in a pre-Series A funding round led by GVFL Prarambh Fund, with participation from Proteus Partners, backed by operator-investors Puru Gupta and Sreejith Moolayil.

The latest round takes Ecosys’ total funding raised to Rs 7.94 crore.

The proceeds will be used to build the brand, reach more consumers through digital channels and develop new formats across laundry and home cleaning, Ecosys said in a press release.

Founded in 2017 by Sumit Goyal and Chirag Dangi, Ecosys is a laundry care brand focused on making everyday laundry simpler and more convenient.

Its 20-ml laundry pods use a water-soluble PVA film and combine detergent, fabric softener and stain remover in a single pre-measured dose. Designed for washing machines, the pods eliminate the need for measuring, pouring or using multiple laundry products.

The Mumbai-based company is focused on transforming the way Indian households do laundry by shifting consumers from traditional powder and liquid detergents to laundry pods.

Ecosys’ laundry pods are designed for both top-load and front-load washing machines. The brand aims to make laundry simpler and more convenient while driving a broader consumer habit shift towards the pod format in India.

According to market research, India’s household cleaners market is growing at nearly 14% annually, more than double the global growth rate.

Ecosys said it is positioning itself as a premium, convenience-led brand and sells its products through quick-commerce and e-commerce channels.
