Urban Company, a home-services marketplace based in Gurgaon, saw strong top-line growth in the second quarter of FY26 even as its profitability suffered as a result of ambitious new-vertical investments. Driven by a significant rise in its operating revenue, Urban Company’s income for the quarter ended September 2025 jumped around 37% year-on-year to around ₹380 crore. Business in core consumer services, as well as its product vertical and worldwide operations.

Simultaneously, its net transaction value (NTV) rose by nearly 34% to more than ₹1,030 crore, indicating increased platform use. Urban Company fell into the red despite these upbeat top-line results. The quarter recorded a net loss of roughly ₹59.3 crore, against a small loss of roughly ₹1.8 crore in the same time last year. Down from ₹21 crore in the prior quarter, the company’s adjusted EBITDA turned negative at about ₹35 crore.

The introduction and quick scale-up of Insta Help, its new high-frequency service vertical providing near-instant domestic assistance appointments, were major factors behind the margin erosion. Alone, the segment reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of about ₹44 crore, therefore showing significant initial expenditures in partner onboarding, training, support infrastructure, and network deployment.
