Kerala has emerged as a major business hub. It is providing companies with the opportunity to establish themselves not only on the local turf, but the national and global map as well. Many businesses have surfaced and have established themselves as prominent players in their respective industries. They are delivering excellent services, while achieving customer satisfaction to the core.
One such company in Kerala, which is making rapid strides in car cleaning services is none other than CAGGO Steam Services. Established in 2016, it is a company known for offering car detailing in India. Over the last five years, it has provided excellent services in more than 100 cities in India. Its head office is located at Kakkanad, Kochi, Kerala. The company uses innovative and unique steam cleaning technology for detailing interior and exterior of the client’s vehicle. The steam cleans, deodorizes, kills allergens, and sanitizes the vehicles’ interior as well.
CAGGO is proud to be recognized as an eco-friendly detailing service provider and a leading high-quality cleaning company, which provides car wash services at the client’s convenience at home or office.
A Wide Variety of Excellent Services
Right from the get-go, CAGGO focused on establishing its business in this busy world where time holds the major concern. Its mobile service tracks the customers and provides service at their doorstep. With expert professionalism and effective operations, the company is able to stand unique in this competitive market. Currently, its branches are spread across more than 100 cities in Kerala.
CAGGO specializes on delivering excellent steam cleaning services. Conventional cleaning methods are often limited to the surface. Steam, on the other hand, penetrates into microscopic gaps between the surface dislodging even stubborn dirt particles. In addition to this, bacteria and germs have no way to escape as steam is used as major cleaning property. This makes steam cleaning particularly efficient and hygienic. “Choosing steam is an excellent choice to clean and disinfect your vehicle with the high temperature, which actually kills and denature harmful bacteria and microorganisms,” states team CAGGO.
CAGGO offers numerous services on a platter, which include the following:
- Exterior Steam Wash
- Interior Steaming
- Polishing
- Seat & Roof Shampooing
- Engine Cleaning
- Glass Restoration
- Headlamp Restoration
- Sofa Carpet, Chair Cleaning
- Disinfection Service
The Seasoned Forerunners
CAGGO marches ahead towards success under the astute leadership of Ajmal Khalid and Jithin Raj, the Founders. During Mr. Ajmal’s college days, he wrote blogs and found readers on a website created by Mr. Jithin. Both earned small income from advertisements on the website while they were studying. After graduation, Mr. Ajmal turned to sales and marketing in the telecom sector, while Mr. Jithin took a step towards the web and app developing sector.
Years later, when Jio was preparing for an internet revolution, Mr. Ajmal realized that the prospects in the telecom sector were fading. At the same time, Mr. Jithin was facing competitions in the IT sector. It was from here, they decided to start a business together. They thought of many businesses but could not execute them because they were not sure about the possibility of success.
Once when they visited the service station for car washing, they noticed the hustle and bustle there. It was the time when the automatic service stations were revolutionizing. They realized that the revival of the automobile market will also benefit the car wash sector. But during that time, they did not have the money to start a service centre.
At the same time. Mr. Jithin and Mr. Ajmal decided to take some innovative steps in the car wash segment. Eventually, they learned about other technologies and started steam car wash technology in Kochi, which was found only in foreign countries. The car wash was set up in an omni van to reach out to the needy.
Overcoming the Hurdles
Mr. Jithin and Mr. Ajmal wanted to establish a business that no one had ever heard of. Therefore, in the beginning, the company had to face a lot of problems to gain customers. The consumer feared that the new technology and steam would cause damage while cleaning the vehicle. However, with more publicity, customers soon came to know about the extensive services provided by the company. Those who used the service later did not go to the service centre because CAGGO delivered their services right at the customers’ doorsteps. This way, the customers were able to save time, fuel, as well as brighten and eliminate odours from the vehicle.
The lethal coronavirus pandemic also had least effects on the functioning and services of CAGGO. This is because, the company had introduced modern technology to disinfect the vehicle even before the pandemic had arrived. Therefore, after corona, more people opted for its service. At the same time, the branches were able to make more profit by including the fumigation service.
Inspiring Words for the Next Gen
Advising the young entrepreneurs of tomorrow, Mr. Jithin and Mr. Ajmal state that it is the desire of every entrepreneur to make a difference in any venture. It takes years to achieve success in a venture that no one else has tried. But many end everything within a year thinking it is a loss. “It took 2 years for our business to make a profit. Many times, we tried to stop but with good luck we started with two or three services in the beginning. Today, CAGGO brings 30+ services to customers’ doorsteps,” they express.
Taking Steps Forward
CAGGO is taking steady steps towards achieving prominence in the car detailing and services industry. The company currently has 130 branches in South India itself. It plans to expand its service to 250+ cities in India by the next year.
