Do you think a new platform offering home services, similar to Urban Company, but with a focus on faster payments, WhatsApp-based registration, and local worker communities, can succeed in India? Why or why not?

Urban Company has already built trust, a solid workforce, and a streamlined system. A new entrant will need serious differentiation—faster payments and WhatsApp-based registration sound nice, but will they be enough?

To compete with Urban Company, we’ll focus on Tier-2 & Tier-3 cities, allowing direct price negotiation and charging lower commissions (10-15%) to attract professionals. Our instant service matching and 30-60 min emergency repairs will ensure faster response times. Unlike UC’s strict policies, we’ll be freelancer-friendly, offering more flexibility.
