Devices-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform Swish Club has secured $4.5 million in a pre-Series A funding round, including $3.3 million in equity and $1.2 million in debt financing. The equity round was led by Powerhouse Ventures, along with participation from Blume Ventures, Founders Fund, Touchstone Ventures, Eternal Capital, and Atrium Ventures. The round also included other investors such as Livspace’s Anuj Srivastava, Ajit Reddy, Deb Dutt, and Tushar Patel. The Bengaluru-based company had previously raised $1.26 million from its existing investors and others. Founded in 2023 by Dushyant Sapre, Suraj Kumar, and Jai Anand, Swish Club is a one-stop solution for enterprise devices, end-point management, and security software. The platform handles the entire lifecycle of a device, from sourcing, configuration, administration, security, and safe returns to upgrades. According to Swish Club, DaaS also allows enterprises and their employees to choose their preferred laptops and smartphones from manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, HP, Dell, and Lenovo and partners with more than 125 enterprises. Swish Club claims to have onboarded over 125 enterprise clients, including Max Life Insurance, Bennett and Coleman, HDFC Life Insurance, PepsiCo, Informatica, Philips, GMR, RPG Group, Landmark Group, and Zensar, as well as startups such as Whatfix, Zetwerk, Meesho, Plum, Allen, Porter, Bold Care, FamPay, Zolvit, Qila Games, and Addverb. "Managing corporate devices is a complex, multi-step process involving procurement, financing, asset management, and eventual recycling. Each step requires different vendors, leading to cost implications, lack of transparency, and multiple back-and-forths. Swish Club is simplifying this with India’s first digital Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform, helping businesses remove these depreciating assets from their balance sheets and reduce IT costs from 10% to just 3% of total capex—all with just a few clicks through a dedicated platform," said Dushyant Sapre, CEO & Co-founder of Swish Club. Swish Club states that under its Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution, it has introduced India’s first digital platform for laptop rentals for enterprises and smartphone leasing for corporate employees. The enterprise device rental solution comes with four free pre-bundled software solutions: Asset Management Portal (AMP), Mobile Device Management (MDM), antivirus, and device cleaner. In India, Swish Club competes with unorganized players, while at the global level, it faces competition from companies such as Grover and Everphone.
