An engineer turned entrepreneur, Phani Kiran Sunkari has taken one of India’s most unorganized sectors—laundry—and transformed it into a structured, tech-enabled and premium service industry. His career began in operational excellence and business transformation, where he mastered efficiency, scalability and leadership—skills that became the foundation of his entrepreneurial journey.

The turning point came from a personal struggle. Living away from family in the early days of his career, Phani realized how inconvenient and unreliable laundry services were in India. Unlike the West, where laundromats are an everyday convenience, here the system was fragmented, inconsistent and trust-deficient. That frustration made to choose the industry and later ventured into business with one store and later established FABO

What started as a single laundry store to understand customer needs has today grown into a network of 100+ outlets across 16+ states. FABO’s franchise-first model empowers local entrepreneurs while ensuring consistent processes, technology integration and customer-first service. Real-time tracking, standardized operations and reliable delivery have made FABO a name synonymous with convenience and trust.

But Phani didn’t stop there. Spotting another gap, he launched Pristino, a premium brand for luxury garment care. With European multi-solvent machines, eco-friendly solvents and fabric-specific protocols, Pristino goes beyond cleaning—it preserves delicate couture, silks and designer wear with world-class precision.

Sustainability lies at the core of both brands, with eco-friendly solvents, reusable packaging, water- and energy-efficient machines and optimized logistics reducing environmental impact.

From tackling an everyday problem to scaling a nationwide franchise, Phani Kiran Sunkari has proven that even the simplest services, when backed by innovation, vision and technology, can redefine industries.

“Festivals are about new beginnings, fresh energy, and timeless traditions. At FABO & Pristino, we ensure your garments reflect the same spirit—fresh, vibrant and cared for with love.” – Phani Kiran Sunkari
