Instafix Secures Pre-Seed Funding from Titan Capital and 8i Ventures

Gurugram-based smartphone repair startup Instafix has raised Rs 7.55 crore (approximately $900,000) in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Titan Capital and 8i Ventures.

The funding round also saw participation from Anish Srivastava and Bharat Kalia, highlighting growing investor interest in tech-enabled consumer service platforms.

The startup plans to utilize the fresh capital to expand operations across Gurugram, strengthen its technology infrastructure, and broaden repair support for premium Android smartphones in addition to iPhones.

Founded by Former Blinkit Employees

Instafix was founded in 2025 by Aniket Kale and Chetan Chauhan, both former employees of Blinkit.

The startup aims to solve one of the biggest pain points faced by smartphone users , unreliable and time-consuming repair services. Instafix offers doorstep smartphone repairs through certified technicians who complete repairs at customers’ homes within approximately 30 minutes.

Unlike traditional repair centres, the company performs repairs directly in front of customers, creating greater transparency and trust in the repair process.

Affordable Repairs with Extended Warranty

Instafix claims to provide repair services at prices up to 50% lower than original equipment manufacturer (OEM) service centres. The startup also offers warranties of up to 12 months on repairs, helping customers feel more confident about service quality and reliability.

According to co-founder Aniket Kale, many smartphones are replaced due to small and repairable issues, contributing to unnecessary electronic waste and high consumer expenses.

He stated that quality smartphone repairs can extend a phone’s lifespan by nearly two years while helping households save as much as Rs 50,000. The company believes affordable and accessible repair services can encourage consumers to use devices longer rather than replacing them frequently.

Rapid Growth in India’s Smartphone Services Market

Since launching in Gurugram in October 2025, Instafix says it has achieved 100% month-on-month growth while maintaining a strong 4.7-star customer rating.

The startup operates in a rapidly growing smartphone services market where consumers increasingly demand faster, more convenient, and transparent repair solutions. Investors believe Instafix’s full-stack, on-site repair model has the potential to modernize India’s fragmented smartphone repair ecosystem.

Titan Capital noted that smartphones are now central to everyday life, yet repair services remain slow and inconsistent. By combining doorstep convenience, trained technicians, and technology-enabled operations, Instafix aims to build a scalable consumer-tech infrastructure business in India.

As smartphone adoption continues to grow nationwide, startups like Instafix are emerging to simplify after-sales support and improve customer experience in the electronics services industry.
