The story

He learned the industry from the floor up

Manoj Kumar has spent nearly twelve years in facility services — starting on the operations floor, then moving into supervision and site management for corporate buildings across Delhi NCR. He has personally handled housekeeping rosters, pantry service standards, guarding deployments, client audits and the statutory paperwork that most vendors treat as an afterthought.

 

In those years one problem never went away. Clients were sold professional facility management and received untrained staff, unverified backgrounds, missing compliance records and supervisors who changed every quarter. The industry had plenty of manpower and very little training.

 

Two years ago, Manoj started SM Facility Services to bridge exactly that gap. He built the training facility first, then the client list. Every housekeeping, pantry and guarding module has a manual, a trainer and an assessment. Every recruit is verified through family, neighbourhood and police checks before a client ever sees them. Every employee gets ESI and PF within 24 hours of joining.

 

Today the company runs with 280+ trained professionals, ISO 9001:2015 certification and more than 50 million sq. ft. of real estate under service in Delhi NCR — and Manoj still takes client calls on his own number.

Journey

From the floor to founder

2014

Into the field

Manoj started on the operations floor of the facility management industry, learning housekeeping, pantry and guarding work shift by shift, site by site.

2017

Running large sites

Moved into supervision and site management for corporate offices in Delhi NCR, handling manpower planning, client escalations and statutory paperwork.

2021

Seeing the gap clearly

Across contract after contract the same pattern repeated: clients paid for professional services and received untrained, unverified staff with thin supervision.

2024

SM Facility Services begins

Manoj founded SM Facility Services with a simple rule — nobody reaches a client site without training, verification and a named supervisor behind them.

Today

280+ people, 50M+ sq. ft.

An ISO 9001:2015 certified operation with an in-house training facility, full ESI/PF compliance and clients across corporates, healthcare, co-living and hospitality.

How he runs the company

Four rules that do not bend

No subcontracting, ever

If a person wears our uniform, they are on our payroll, verified by us and trained by us. Accountability cannot be outsourced.

Train first, deploy second

Pre-deployment training at our own facility is non-negotiable — it is the reason the company was started in the first place.

Compliance on time, every time

ESI and PF numbers within 24 hours of hiring, monthly challans filed with the client bill, labour licences kept current.

The owner is reachable

Clients have Manoj's mobile number. Escalations do not need to travel through three layers to be heard.
