Instafix Raises ₹7.55 Cr Pre-Seed Led by Titan Capital, 8i Ventures
Gurugram, May 13, 2026 — Instafix, a 30-minute doorstep smartphone repair service, has raised ₹7.55 crore in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Titan Capital and 8i Ventures. The round also saw participation from Anish Srivastava, Senior Vice President at Blinkit, and Bharat Kalia, Co-founder and CEO of Lifelong.
The fresh capital will be deployed to scale Instafix's Gurugram operations, expand service coverage beyond iPhones to premium Android models, and build the technology stack powering on-site, sub-30-minute repairs.
India's consumer electronics market, valued at nearly $73 billion, is witnessing rapid growth in premium devices, which are expanding at close to 20 percent year-on-year. Despite nearly three crore premium smartphones being sold in India annually, the device repair experience has barely evolved, leaving consumers without a service they can confidently recommend.
Instafix was founded in 2025 by Aniket Kale and Chetan Chauhan, both former Blinkit operators. The idea took shape after Kale's own smartphone broke and a steep service centre quote pushed him to a local repair shop, only for the issue to return within ten days with no warranty. The incident pointed to a market-wide failure in premium device repair.
The company dispatches certified technicians to a customer's location, completing repairs on-site within 30 minutes and in front of the customer. Every repair is backed by a warranty of up to 12 months and priced up to 50 percent below OEM service centres. Since its launch in Gurugram in October 2025, Instafix has grown 100 percent month-on-month while maintaining a 4.7-star customer rating.
"Phones haven't fundamentally changed in years, yet 40 percent of Indians replace theirs within two years — usually over a fixable issue. A quality repair can add two years to a phone's life, save a household up to ₹50,000, and keep a perfectly good device in use. Since Instafix's launch in Gurugram in October 2025, we've grown 100 percent month-on-month with a 4.7-star customer rating," said Aniket Kale, Co-founder of Instafix.
Commenting on the investment, a spokesperson for Titan Capital said, "Smartphones today sit at the center of an individual's life, yet smartphone repairs remain slow, fragmented and highly unreliable. Instafix's full-stack, on-site, quick service approach is rebuilding the repair experience from the ground up starting with the highest trust category — smartphones, and has the potential to unlock one of the largest services opportunities in consumer tech infrastructure."
Looking ahead, Instafix plans to expand beyond smartphones and develop a trusted on-demand repair platform spanning consumer electronics. The company's long-term vision is a future where repair becomes the default choice, rather than the exception, for every device in the Indian home.
