Episode Description

"We have to always remember that this is where it all started. And in many ways, I think today is also Day Zero." - Abhiraj Bhal.

We took a trip down the memory lane and went back to where it all began - Urban Company's first 110 sq ft office in Bhikaji Cama Place in New Delhi. The bench that survived 11 years. The corner where Abhiraj used to sit. Space so small that when investors visited, the two interns had to step out.

Walking through that room, Mridul and Abhiraj reflected on Urban Company’s humble beginnings and the incredible journey from that tiny space to serving 7 million households and empowering 50,000+ service professionals.

Even as Urban Company hits the public markets, even after building the category-defining company for home services globally, the Day Zero mindset remains. The same hunger. The same conviction. The same belief that they're just getting started.

Congratulations to Abhiraj, Varun, Raghav and the entire Urban Company family on the IPO. Here's to Day Zero, again and always!
