About UC

Urban Company is Asia's largest home services platform, present across India, UAE, KSA and Singapore. We help customers in 60+ cities book reliable home services with our trained service professionals across beauty treatments, massages, plumbing, carpentry, painting, cleaning etc.

We are making a difference!

Urban Company’s vision is to empower millions of service professionals across the world to deliver service experiences at home like never seen before. Prior to joining Urban Company, most of these professionals would typically earn INR 10-15k per month, working for a local shop, aggregator or as a freelancer. UC’s platform enables these professionals to become micro-entrepreneurs by helping them in 5 key areas –

This helps service professionals become more organized and multiplies their earnings. E.g. Our beauticians typically earn INR 40-50k per month with no upper ceiling (many earn > INR 100k per month), while in the local salons, they would earn between INR 8 to 15k per month
