This 26-year old entrepreneur is ready to disrupt the home service industry
To say the home service industry has room for improvement is an understatement. Just ask any homeowner who has endured the pain of calling a repair company only to pay hefty fees for inadequate service. There are fewer things worse than waiting on an unqualified technician who ends up causing more problems than he fixes.
Entrepreneur Vedang Khetawat is ready to change everything homeowners thought they knew about home service with the launch of his new company 999service.com.
It’s safe to say, Vedang Khetawat knows a thing or two about air conditioning units. Earlier in his life, Vedang worked in a family business that managed and maintained over 35,000 precision air conditioners. That’s where he learned everything there is to know about air conditioners.
His passion hasn’t always lied in entrepreneurship. Born in Calcutta, India, in 1994, Vedang Khetawat earned an undergraduate degree in Business from St. Xavier’s in Calcutta before pursing a Filmmaking degree at New York Film Academy. He worked on several short films in New York, including a feature film called “Dumru.” The film was directed by Riya Agarwal and was nominated for several film festivals.
Vedang Khetawat eventually made his way back to India. He worked in his father’s telecom backhaul integration business for two years, supplying high-end equipment to government agencies and major brands such as Reliance, Samsung, Ericsson, and Nokia.
Vedang’s desire to work independently, combined with the possibility of creating new opportunities for his vendors, employees, and micro-entrepreneurs during and after the pandemic, led to the launch of 999services.com in 2020. The company is devoted to providing reliable air conditioning services to homeowners on a subscription basis.
