Home Hygiene Brand Cleevo Raises Funding Led by Eternal Capital
The fresh funds will be used to expand manufacturing 10X, invest in R&D, scale digital and B2B channels, enter global markets, and boost talent acquisition and brand-building efforts.
You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.
Home hygiene brand Cleevo has raised USD 1 million in a seed funding round led by Eternal Capital, with participation from Zeca Capital, DeVC, Utsav Somani (iSeed), Suhail Sameer (OTP Ventures), Sumit Jalan, Ajay Kumar (Action Tesa Group), Alok Mittal (Indifi), and members of the Venture Garage Network.
The freshly secured capital will fuel Cleevo's next growth phase, powering a 10X expansion in manufacturing, deeper investments in research and development, and aggressive scaling across digital-first distribution channels, B2B pilots, and select international markets.
The company will also direct funds toward talent acquisition and brand-building initiatives, aiming to deepen consumer engagement and amplify awareness.
Cleevo was founded in 2022 by Mayank Jain and Karan Shah, combining their strengths in brand-building, business strategy, and manufacturing. The brand delivers non-toxic, high-performance home cleaning products in concentrate formats, rethinking traditional liquid cleaners that are inefficient, bulky, and environmentally taxing.
"Home hygiene hasn't seen meaningful innovation in decades. We're still buying bottles that are 90% water and 10% performance, paying more for packaging and logistics than for effectiveness. Cleevo questions that model from the ground up," said Mayank Jain, Founder and CEO. "This fundraise isn't just about capital—it's validation of our mission to create smarter, safer, and more sustainable cleaning solutions."
Cleevo's products are designed to reduce plastic waste, cut carbon emissions, and enable conscious consumption. The compact concentrates are easier to store, cheaper to ship, and perform better—without the ecological cost of traditional cleaners. Already, the brand has served over 1.5 lakh customers across India, gaining traction on Zepto, Amazon, Flipkart, and its own D2C platform.
"Cleevo is proving that conscious cleaning doesn't need to be costly or inconvenient," said Dhruv Dhanraj Bahl, Managing Partner at Eternal Capital. "They're re-engineering every aspect of the category—format, logistics, and formulation—to make sustainability the new default."
With innovation at its core and sustainability in its DNA, Cleevo is redefining what clean means for the modern Indian household.

More Crypto IPOs Are Coming: 3 Initial Public Offerings To Watch For
INDIA - 2024/04/07: In this photo illustration, a Bitcoin Logo seen displayed on a smartphone with ... More the Wall Street - New York Stock Exchange logo in the background. (Photo Illustration by Avishek Das/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Circle, the issuing company of the USDC Stablecoin, went public last week under the ticker 'CRCL'. The company's stock surged over 168% during its first day of trading, blowing investor expectations out of the water. Their wildly successful listing will likely trigger a rush of additional crypto companies to list or accelerate their plans to go public. I've put together a list of the top 3 crypto-related public listings that will likely make headlines in the months to come. Before we get to the list, let's quickly review the numbers of Circle's recent listing to grasp just how impressive the outcome was for its investors. Circle first announced its plans to go public on May 27th, 2025, though the company had filed for an S-1 registration with the SEC back in January 2024, which signalled its intention to go public. The company was initially targeting to raise $624 million by offering 24 million shares as part of its listing transaction. During the road show, the price was estimated at $24-$26 per share. Due to strong demand, the company increased the offering to 32 million shares at $27-$28 per share, upping the amount raised to $896 million. Even at the increased valuation, the company received 25 times more demand for the shares than expected, meaning the deal was 25 times oversubscribed. To put this in context, this implies that there was demand for ~850 million shares vs the 34 million that Circle was offering for sale. Part of the excitement came from the fact that ARK Invest and Blackrock had strong demand to invest. Circle finally penned the deal by selling 34 million shares at $31 per share, raising a total of $1.05 Billion and valuing the company at $8.1 Billion on a fully-diluted basis. During the first day of trading, the company's share price rose by 168%, closing the day at $81.69. This valued the company at ~$20 billion. While the excitement around Circle's IPO is partly rooted in the optimism surrounding U.S. dollar pegged stablecoins, the deal also implies strong investor interest to participate in the future of the digital economy that's being built around Bitcoin and digital assets. You can bet that other companies in the space are observing the deal with optimism and will likely work to accelerate their plans to list this year. Here are the top 3 companies that have announced or reported plans to list in the months ahead: Gemini As reported three days ago, the U.S.-based crypto exchange owned by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, filed for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the U.S.. In terms of projected valuation, the company has not yet reported a price, but its last priced round back in November 2021 valued the company at $7.1 Billion. The estimated listing date is late 2025 or early 2026. Kraken The San Francisco-based exchange has also been reportedly getting ready for an IPO in early 2026, although no formal registration has been filed. The company's last priced round was all the way back in 2019, when it raised $13.5 Million at a $4 Billion valuation. The company has reportedly been working with banks to complete a debt offering to boost growth ahead of the listing. Bitgo Back in February the U.S. based custodian was reported to be eyeing an IPO 'as early as this year', though no formal registration has been filed yet. Bitgo's last priced round was done in August 2023, valuing the company at $1.75 Billion. These are just three companies-- after Circle's warm welcome, you can bet that there will be more announcing plans to list soon. In a market where Bitcoin Treasury company stocks and Bitcoin ETFs are performing so well, equity from companies that provide the infrastructure for the industry seems like a logical next step.

Why Oyo Is Doubling Down on Its Company-Serviced Hotels
India's growing purchasing power is driving Oyo towards premiumization, but it's doing it Oyo style. Oyo has said it is aiming to double the share of company-serviced properties in its booking revenue from 22% to 44% in the current financial year. The company that currently operates 1,300 hotels in its serviced segment across 124 cities also plans to expand the portfolio of these hotels to 1,800 properties across 300 cities. These are primarily under its mid-segment brands Townhouse Oak, Capital O and Palette, and premium brand Sunday. The launch of company-serviced hotels in September 2023 marked Oyo's departure from its franchise model. According to Oyo, it will focus on leisure cities, pilgrimage destinations, and business corridors where demand remains strong for the expansion. What is Driving This Decision? In its statement, the hospitality company said that these hotels have double the average occupancy as compared to franchise hotels. These properties also get a higher customer rating, it added. Last December, Oyo said that it achieved 250% growth in this segment within just a year of its launch. Varun Jain, chief operating officer at Oyo said, 'The program is in line with Oyo's strategic focus for 2025 for the India market, which aims to drive profitability by enhancing the overall guest experience.' The company said that the company-serviced hotel segment is Oyo's fastest-growing business segment globally. 'This highlights their higher revenue-generating potential, driven by standardised operations, superior service quality, and enhanced customer experience,' it added. Oyo's Premiumizat
