Chamak - Neighborhood Washing & Ironing Services
Each kg of clothes is 40/- and they even SMS you once its done!
Quite obviously, its intended to be a big chain over time - a la Ferns And Petals for flowers. They seem to have about 10 locations in Bangalore itself.

I'm not yet debating about it being a great idea etc, but its and opportunity, and its heartening to see someone take a crack at it.
On digging just a little, here's what I found - introducing the Village Laundry Service funded by Innosight Ventures, and promotes individual entrepreneurs to run their rigs.
