At the Connecting Ideas With Money session that took place on the 7th of July, 2023 Founder Harnesh Shetty pitched Bangalore-based Gaadibuddy. Gaadibuddy, a mobile car wash and detailing service based in Bangalore, is gaining attention for its innovative approach to the automotive service industry. Founder Harnesh Shetty describes Gaadibuddy as a solution to a common problem faced by car owners – the inconvenience of visiting multiple locations for various car services. With a focus on waterless technology and process-oriented methods, Gaadibuddy offers customers a convenient and sustainable way to keep their cars clean.
“Our goal is to provide a hassle-free car care experience for our customers,” says Shetty. “We save more than 1000 liters of water on a daily basis, contributing to the ‘Save water’ campaign and protecting the environment.”
Gaadibuddy’s service model revolves around bringing the car wash and detailing directly to the customer’s doorstep. By utilizing waterless technology, the startup not only conserves water but also ensures that premium quality products are used to protect both the customer’s vehicle and the environment. From basic exterior washes to comprehensive interior and exterior detailing, Gaadibuddy offers a range of packages tailored to meet customers’ needs and budgets.
To make booking a service seamless, Gaadibuddy provides a user-friendly web app. Customers can easily schedule their car care services and choose to pay online or opt for cash on delivery. Additionally, the startup offers subscription plans on a monthly or quarterly basis, providing customers with discounts for regular maintenance.
Shetty explains the motivation behind starting Gaadibuddy, stating, “As automotive engineers with experience in infotainment and ADAS systems, we recognized the pain point of car owners and the untapped potential in the market. We wanted to provide a better car ownership experience.”
Over the years, Gaadibuddy has evolved its offerings to adapt to customer demands and external circumstances. While initially focused on eco car wash services, the startup expanded its range of services to include jumpstarts, car detailing, waxing, and sanitization, addressing the needs of car owners in a comprehensive manner. Throughout this journey, Gaadibuddy has prioritized the development of a reliable and efficient tech ecosystem to synchronize its services.
Gaadibuddy’s founding team consists of Harnesh Shetty and Vishal Singh, both of whom have extensive experience in the automotive domain. Shetty, an automotive engineer with over 11 years of experience working with companies like Bosch and Harman, brings valuable insights into infotainment and ADAS systems. Singh, with more than 12 years of experience in ADAS, having worked with Continental, complements the team’s expertise.
