PatchitUP has awarded a six-territory franchise in North Dallas to Gaurav Gandhi, a senior fintech executive focused on building scalable, systems-driven businesses.

The deal, completed with Adrianne Leigh of Franchise Brokers Association, marks a continued push into key Texas markets.

Gaurav, a quantitative finance leader at Barclays, manages a global team across the U.S., U.K., and Hong Kong and also operates an e-commerce business. Based in Frisco, he brings a KPI-driven approach and plans to build a multi-territory, manager-led operation in a recession-resistant home services category.

After evaluating multiple drywall brands, Gaurav was drawn to PatchitUP’s model, technology, and scalability in a fragmented market.

Peter Kourounis, Founder of PatchitUP, said, “When Gaurav met PatchitUP, something felt different. He saw more than just fixing holes in walls. His drive to scale and help make PatchitUP a household name makes him an ideal partner. We’re lucky to have him.”

With a 60 to 90 day launch timeline, Gaurav is expected to move quickly in establishing a strong presence across North Dallas.
