COOX, a rising star in the home services sector, has successfully raised $125,000 in a Seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, a prominent angel investment firm based in Gurugram. This funding will help the startup expand its reach, enhance its services, and incorporate advanced technology to improve user experience.
With plans to double its current footprint to 40 cities, COOX aims to strengthen its marketing efforts and integrate artificial intelligence into its platform. The goal is to streamline operations and enhance service delivery, making it easier for customers to book the home services they need.
COOX specializes in a wide range of home services, making it a one-stop solution for event hosting and daily needs. Their services include:
Since its launch in 2019, COOX has proudly served over 500,000 customers, offering more than 15 different cuisines and 500 dishes, ranging from Indian favorites to Continental delights.
Akshat Gupta, with an MBA from IMT Hyderabad, brings over a decade of experience from startups and multinational corporations to COOX. His leadership aims to reshape the home services landscape.
Abhishek Gupta, the CMO, holds an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad and has over six years of experience in marketing and operations, focusing on innovative strategies to attract customers.
Rajat Johri, the CTO, holds a B.Tech from KIET and has over eight years of technical and leadership experience. His expertise is vital for integrating cutting-edge technology into the COOX platform.
Currently operating in 20 cities across India, COOX provides an extensive suite of over 10 on-demand services for event hosting and daily living. One of its standout offerings is a monthly subscription service for domestic cooks, catering to the needs of busy families.
“At COOX, we aim to transform home services through innovative technology, ensuring seamless experiences for both customers and service providers,” said Akshat Gupta. He emphasized the importance of creating memorable events where “hosts should enjoy as much as the guests.”
The Indian food services market is booming and is projected to reach $125 billion by 2030. The catering industry alone is valued at approximately ₹20,000 crores and is expanding at an impressive rate of 15% annually. However, a significant portion—97%—of this market remains unorganized, dominated by local operators who have yet to adopt technology.
Vinay Bansal, Founder & CEO of Inflection Point Ventures, highlighted the importance of COOX’s model. “Managing daily tasks or hosting events often requires external help. COOX simplifies these responsibilities, allowing individuals to relax and enjoy their time,” he stated. By providing convenience and supporting the gig economy, COOX helps create job opportunities in the hospitality industry. The use of technology not only modernizes home services but ensures that hosts can fully enjoy their events.
With its recent funding and ambitious expansion plans, COOX is well-positioned to make a significant impact in the home services market. By focusing on technology and customer experience, the startup aims to redefine how people approach home service needs. As they continue to grow, COOX promises to deliver convenience and joy to households across India.
