Sometimes, the “no” you hear today becomes the story the world celebrates tomorrow.
For Hoora, a Nagpur-based startup once turned down on Shark Tank India, that “no” didn’t end the journey — it became the ignition.
Today, Hoora has raised ₹5 crore in a seed round from a group of strategic investors — a powerful validation of its vision to build a Vehicle 360° company that reimagines how Indians own, manage, and care for their vehicles.
Founded in 2019 by Yashwant Budhwani, Harsh Somani, and Khalid Ansari, Hoora began humbly — as a car wash provider. But behind that simple service was a bigger dream: to simplify vehicle ownership in a country where maintaining, insuring, and managing a vehicle often feels like a maze.
From Car Washes to Connected Ecosystems
What started with soap and water has evolved into a comprehensive platform that blends services, products, insurance, and tech into one seamless ecosystem.
At the heart of this transformation lies the Hoora Kit — a compact, tech-enabled hardware tool that makes vehicle care smarter, faster, and more sustainable. It’s not just cleaning cars — it’s cleaning up the inefficiencies and waste in an outdated system.
The Business Behind the Beauty
Taavi’s success isn’t just emotional — it’s strategic. By building a brand around purpose, Myntra tapped into a growing market for ethical and conscious fashion.
In a space dominated by speed, Taavi slows down the narrative — and paradoxically, that’s what’s helping it scale.
Its products aren’t mass-produced; they’re crafted.
Its artisans aren’t laborers; they’re partners.
And its mission isn’t just profit; it’s preservation with progress.
To date, Hoora has:
- Logged 20 lakh+ app downloads
- Reached ₹3 crore in monthly recurring revenue
- Scaled to ₹36 crore annual recurring revenue
- Built a network of 350+ last-mile professionals
- And — most importantly — saved 6 crore+ liters of water through sustainable practices
This isn’t just growth. It’s proof that profitability and purpose can ride in the same lane.
Building the Vehicle 360° Future
With this new ₹5 crore funding, Hoora plans to expand into major cities, deploy over 1,000 Hoora Kits, and explore new verticals — including direct-to-consumer products, an automotive accessories marketplace, and insurance solutions.
Their vision? To become the go-to platform for every stage of vehicle ownership — from purchase to maintenance to resale — combining digital convenience, clean technology, and sustainability.
In the words of CEO Yashwant Budhwani:
Why This Matters
India’s vehicle market is exploding — but so are the pain points of ownership. Fragmented service providers, lack of transparency, environmental waste, and rising maintenance costs make the experience chaotic.
Hoora’s approach turns this chaos into clarity. By digitizing, standardizing, and sustainably scaling every part of vehicle care, it’s not just solving problems — it’s redefining expectations.
This is what makes Hoora’s story more than a funding headline. It’s a reflection of how resilience, clarity of vision, and purpose-driven innovation can turn rejection into revolution.
