By : Krishna Mishra
Urban Company, formerly known as UrbanClap, has become India’s biggest home services platform, valued at a staggering $2.8 billion. What started as a bold idea by three engineers — Abhiraj Bhal, Raghav Chandra, and Varun Khaitan — has now turned into a household name trusted by millions across the country.
The platform was created to solve a common problem: the lack of reliable home service providers. From cleaning and repairs to beauty, fitness, and wellness, Urban Company brought professionalism and trust to a highly unorganized sector. Their technology-driven model connects skilled service partners with customers, ensuring quality, safety, and transparency.
Over the years, the startup has expanded to multiple countries, empowering thousands of professionals with training and income opportunities. The story of Urban Company is not just about building an app but about transforming the home services industry in India and showcasing how innovation can create real impact at scale.
