5. HISTORY OF URBANCLAP
Initially, the founders ran surveys across segments, such as food
and delivery services. "Customers would tell us: 'We would like
something like Zomato or TripAdvisor. Why must we call
Justdial to find a service?'" recalled Khaitan.
Zomato is an online food and restaurant search engine;
TripAdvisor, as its name suggests, provides advice to travelers
on accommodation, fares or packages; Justdial is a search
engine.
With mobile penetration increasing, the founders of UrbanClap
felt it would be easy enough to get their product to customers.
"Nothing is organized (in the local services markets); day-to-
day services need standardization," said Mukul Singhal of SAIF
Partners, one of the principal investors in UrbanClap.
The fragmentary nature of the market is the prime challenge.
Singhal added he was excited about UrbanClap because of its
founders. "It will take them time to figure out the correct
execution process of the service they are offering."
