Urban Company started out as UrbanClap in Nov 2014, when its founders, Abhiraj, Raghav and Varun realized that the home services industry was predominantly unorganized, fragmented and offline. Customers found it difficult to avail quality services in a convenient manner, and service professionals were struggling to make ends meet, having to rely upon several middlemen, contractors, and local aggregators. The founders felt that the industry was ripe for disruption, and launched Urban Company, with three key principles in mind -

• Customer love: Build a platform that offers truly delightful and differentiated services
• Partner empowerment: Build a deep, full-stack partnership with service partners, helping improve their earnings and overall livelihood
• Technology first: Bring innovation and technology to an age-old industry.
