Dimapur, Oct. 8 (EMN): After a four-year hiatus, the Cleaning Brothers are back in business to provide professional cleaning services in Dimapur.
Formed in 2015, the team took a break after experiencing some challenges but have returned to the market more confident and financially secure.
Cleaning Brothers (CB) is the brainchild of Khekavi Sema, an MBA graduate from ICFAI University in Dimapur.
Sema shared to Eastern Mirror that he wants to provide ‘experience and employment’ to many youths.
CB was first conceptualised in 2015 after an interaction with the youths of Police colony in Dimapur, most of whom were school dropouts. Thus, CB came into existence with the youths from his locality.
It has been inoperative since 2017, but the new team is back in the market with the motto: “For every service that you avail, you are contributing to empower youth resource in Nagaland.”
“The reason behind CB taking a break for four years was because of the financial situation as the team could not afford to buy cleaning equipment. Also all of us were untrained and did not know the market well including the rates and how a cleaning team works. However, the five of us are trained professionally from Kolkata for three months and now we are more confident of the work we provide”, he said.
“In 2015 when CB started, most of our earnings were spent on buying cleaning equipment and we hardly had anything left for ourselves. Although the response was good since they started with nothing, whatever we received was invested in buying machinery. But with the re-launch of CB, I am able to pay the salary and have all the equipment required and a vehicle to ferry us with the support of my wife”, Sema shared.
Cleaning Brothers currently has four staff namely Pesa, Yimto, Thrunso Yansomong, while the proprietor himself also gets involved with the work.
The three members are school dropouts but are proudly employed as cleaning persons instead of ‘doing nothing’, he shared.
They work six days a week from dawn to dusk, and although they have only recently started their service again, the response so far has been encouraging, he said.
Sema shared that his father was not supportive of his enterprise when he first started in 2015. However, “now my father is very supportive of what I started and he has also contributed in purchasing our Ecco van”, he said.
The Cleaning Brothers provide normal and deep cleaning services for water tanks; facade cleaning; showroom; residential and commercial buildings; hotels and restaurants; cleaning after construction, wedding parties; pest control service; sanitation and disinfection.
To avail their service one can reach them at 9089177661/7005625080.
