An IIT Mumbai graduate, Arunabh carries solid amount of experience in the franchising and startup space and is widely regarded as a scale-up specialist. In his previous entrepreneurial venture, Arunabh had the opportunity to very closely look at the retail space in South East Asia.

A huge believer in microentrepreneurship, Arunabh has leveraged the power of franchising to introduce UClean across multiple neighbourhoods of the country. Enabling access to finance, technology, trained manpower and resources has helped UClean partner with small but passionate entrepreneurs and get them started on their own UClean journey. As UClean continues to expand across the country, Arunabh is also working in parallel on taking the brand international and the initial footprints have already been established in Nepal and Bangladesh.
