Gapoon Has Launched Plumbing, Electricians, Carpentery Services in Bangalore

bangalore, India, October 10, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Leaking pipes, electric wires dangling dangerously, doors in deep decay... Returning after a long vacation, the Sharmas were in desperate need of a plumber, an electrician, and a carpenter. Confused and clueless, their frantic search for a service-provider seemed heading nowhere. Could they trust that agent next door, or theneighbour’s reference, or settle for a Google search?

Trapped in a City with a disorganized, highly fragmented service industry, Bengalureans old and new know it is a tough call. Long settled in the City, old-timers might bank on those part-time, semi-skilled workers in an informal setup. But is this sustainable for long in a city of migrants? Isn’t it time the startups with Ola-like aggregators of plumbers and carpenters stepped in?

Physically verified

If the taxi cab sector could do it, why not the service segment? Active in this space since February, the startup, Gapoon, has shown how it is possible with a smart mix of physical verification, technology and networking. It isn’t exactly rocket science to then link up the unorganized service-providers with households, benefiting both. Plumbers in Bangalore by Gapoon.
