Delhi, 24th June 2019: Urban Company, India’s largest services marketplace, today, announced the launch of its services in the capital city of the United Arab Emirates – Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi is a major cultural and commercial centre with over 200 nationalities residing in the city who form a considerable population of expatriates. The Middle East as a market is highly developed which provides a high-paced lifestyle, enjoys significant infrastructure capabilities and regulations. Therefore, the company plans to initiate operations in Abu Dhabi with over 20 service partners by offering five services: deep cleaning, maid, pest control, handymen and AC servicing and repair, with home painting and Packers & Movers to be added soon.

Commenting on the expansion to Abu Dhabi, Abhiraj Bhal Co-founder of Urban Company said, “We are ecstatic about the expansion of Urban Company’s footprint in the UAE by entering Abu Dhabi. With the capital city being a consumer heavy market and willing to lookout for quality home services – the decision is the right move towards further expansion in UAE.
