This 'maturity' involves ensuring a consistent service quality, which is tougher than it looks, as it involves managing thousands of blue-collar workers, most of them who have no experience of dealing with technology.

"We are also planning to have customised training modules for our service providers. Much of quality is also on reaffirmation of processes. We need to keep stressing on how to do a particular job.

Housejoy has recently raised 150 crore funding led by Amazon India.
Indian home services industry stands close to $100 billion (6.6 lakh crore), and with new companies being formed everyday, it has become highly contested. It means that only the very best of these would be surviving the tough competition.
