What Urban does

Online marketplace connecting customers to home services professionals for beauty, cleaning, repair and appliance work.

Takes a commission on each job a professional completes through the app, keeping a share of what the customer pays and passing the rest to the professional, who is not an employee. Its own Native water purifiers and similar products add a smaller line. It listed in India in 2025.

In one line: India's Thumbtack/Handy.
