URBAN COMPANY

 About Urban Company

Vision: to empower millions of service professionals across the world to deliver service experiences at

home like never seen before.

Urban Company is Asia's largest home services platform, present across India, the UAE, Australia,

Singapore and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We help customers book reliable home services – beauty

treatments, massages, plumbing, carpentry, painting, cleaning etc. Since our inception in November

2014, we have expanded to 45+ cities, served over 5 million customers, and onboarded 40,000+ trained

and skilled service professionals.

The Urban Company platform enables these professionals to become micro-entrepreneurs by helping

them in 5 key areas –


Urban Company has always had a structured approach towards partner development and well-being

centered around 4 key pillars: improved earnings, safety net, training and wealth creation. As per the

recently released UC Earnings Index, partners who delivered at least 30 orders a month, earned INR

30,455 per month, with the top quartile of partners earning INR 38,263 per month. Further, according to

the findings of PGA Labs’ Earnings Benchmarking Study, Urban Company partners earn at least 60%

higher net monthly earnings than their offline counterparts while working for considerably fewer hours

(almost 50% less).

Urban Company also offers a safety net to its partners in the form of insurance and access to financial

support. All active partners on the UC platform in India are covered under the Group Life and Accidental

Insurance cover. Some of the key aspects covered under the policy are life insurance (INR 6 lakhs),


disability cover (INR 6 lakhs), accidental hospitalization (INR 70,000), accidental OPD treatment (INR

10,000), among others. A sizable proportion of our India service partner base also enjoys the benefits of

a group health insurance scheme free of cost, which UC is committed to rolling out to more partners

over time.
