Yes Madam, a quick-commerce and on-demand home services startup, has raised its first institutional capital of Rs. 50 crore at a post-money valuation of Rs. 750 crore. The round was led by early-stage investors and marks the company’s shift from founder-funded growth to institutional backing.
Founded in 2022, Yes Madam operates an app and a network of verified professionals who provide home services such as cleaning, laundry, and beauty at home. The startup claims strong unit economics and growing repeat orders, driven by urban convenience trends and higher willingness to pay for contactless services since the pandemic.
The Rs. 50 crore cheque will be used to expand service coverage to tier II and III cities, strengthen technology for better scheduling and retention, and invest in training and quality assurance. Yes Madam reports a 3x year-on-year increase in gross merchandise value (GMV) over the past 12 months and says its repeat customer rate exceeds 40%, signaling healthy demand.
At a Rs. 750 crore valuation, the startup sits among mid-stage home-services players positioning for rapid geographic expansion. The deal gives Yes Madam fresh capital to compete with larger platforms and to accelerate unit-level profitability. The company has about 200 employees and operates in 12 cities; the funding aims to double city presence within 12 months.
Analysts say the home-services market in India is fragmented but large—estimated at over $10 billion—and investors are increasingly attracted to brands that standardize quality and ensure worker safety. Yes Madam’s maiden institutional round will be closely watched for execution on unit economics, customer retention, and margin improvement as it seeks follow-on capital or strategic partnerships.
