Urban Company posts 37% growth in Q2 FY26, losses balloon due to Insta Help push Home services marketplace Urban Company has reported strong topline growth during the second quarter of FY26, though its bottom line took a hit due to heavy investments in its newly launched vertical, Insta Help. According to the company’s quarterly financial results, Urban Company's revenue from operations rose 37% year-on-year to Rs 380 crore, while its net transaction value (NTV) grew 34% to Rs 1,030 crore. Urban Company’s India Consumer Services, which includes categories like cleaning, beauty, and repair, clocked Rs 262 crore in revenue. Its annual transacting users stand at 7.4 million, while its monthly active professionals increased to 57,251 during the quarter. Income from the native water purifier surged 179% to Rs 75 crore in Q2 FY26. Revenue from its international business stood at Rs 41 crore, while Insta Help, the company’s new daily housekeeping vertical launched earlier this year, has processed 468,000 orders in October 2025 with minimal revenue. With the new launch, the company has to expand its team as its employee benefits, marketing, and other overheads led its total expenditure to increase to Rs 462 crore in Q2 FY26, resulting in a net loss of Rs 59 crore, compared to a loss of Rs 1.82 crore in Q2 FY24. On a sequential basis, the firm posted a net profit of Rs 6.94 crore in Q1 FY26. According to Urban Company’s shareholders' letter, it expects consolidated EBITDA losses to continue in the near term as it invests aggressively in scaling Insta Help, which it sees as a large, high-frequency category critical to strengthening its core platform. At the end of September 2025, Urban Company’s total current assets stood at Rs 1,939 crore, providing ample liquidity to fund new initiatives and expansion. “While we are not yet generating free cash flow, our goal is to build a platform that maximizes long-term FCF per share and delivers lasting value to every shareholder,” said Abhiraj Singh Bhal, co-founder and CEO of Urban Company.

Titan Capital Winners Fund, which is backed by Snapdeal co-founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, has raised its target corpus of Rs 200 crore as the duo will anchor this fund as its largest investors. The fund will invest exclusively in follow-on rounds of breakout companies from its seed portfolio. “With the Titan Capital Winners Fund, we can more significantly support the founders of our portfolio companies in subsequent rounds of capital raises, further strengthening Titan Capital’s partnership with them,” Bahl and Bansal said in a joint press release. The Titan Capital Winners Fund focuses on tech-enabled businesses led by founders and management teams building category creators. The fundraise was completed in less than six months and the fund’s LPs include prominent family offices, CEOs and founders of leading companies, and key figures from the VC landscape. Titan Capital said that a select number of LPs are expected to be added via the optional greenshoe. In addition to Bahl and Bansal, the Winners Fund is managed by a team including Chetan Rana, who is serving as the chief financial officer (CFO). Titan Capital has backed more than 250 companies since 2011. Some of its seed investment portfolio includes Urban Company, MamaEarth, OfBusiness, Razorpay, Unicommerce, and Ola Cabs. Through the fund, Bahl and Bansal also made hefty exits from Urban Company, MamaEarth, Ola and Credgenics. For context, they had invested Rs 57 lakh total in Urban Company’s early funding rounds and recently took complete exit with Rs 111 crore. In Ola, their original investment was to the tune of $60,000 while the SoftBank-backed company reached its peak valuation of $7.3 billion in 2021 when they exited fully. E-commerce SaaS platform Unicommerce, which also comes under the umbrella of Snapdeal owner AceVector, went public. It was one of the profitable startups to get listed on the stock exchange.
