About Urban Company
Urban Company was founded in 2014 in Delhi/NCR by Abhiraj Singh Bhal, Varun Khaitan, and Raghav Chandra. Originally named UrbanClap, the platform aimed to organize the highly fragmented Indian home services market. Instead of just acting as a lead generation directory, it evolved into a 'full-stack' marketplace.
Urban Company tightly controls the user experience by standardizing pricing, supplying tools and products directly to service professionals, and conducting rigorous training. In 2020, UrbanClap rebranded to Urban Company to align with its global expansion into markets like the UAE, Singapore, and Australia.
