3. Abhiraj Singh Bhal – Urban Clap

Urban Clap

Abhiraj Singh Bhal, along with Raghav Chandra and Varun Khaitan, stumbled upon the idea of starting Urban Clap when they discovered the hugely fragmented and unregulated market of on-demand services in India. However, soon after, they realized their journey wasn’t as smooth as they expected.

Apart from the obstacles surrounding this particular industry, numerous customer complaints and inconsistency are some of the other challenges the founders had to deal with. That being said, there’s a huge opportunity to innovate and revolutionize this sector with the help of cutting-edge technology.

Since its launch around five years ago, Urban Clap has become a household name today. With over 20,000 service partners, presence in 11 cities, including Dubai, and an enviable reach of over 6.5 lakh homes per month, Urban Clap has grown tremendously over the years.
