The Rs 1,900 crore public issue, which opened for subscription from September 10 to 12, 2025, received an overwhelming response from investors across categories. With the listing date confirmed for September 17, all eyes are now on the stock’s performance amid bullish grey market signals and robust institutional interest.
The IPO was anchored by Urban Company’s strong brand recall, first-mover advantage, and scalable business model across 51 Indian cities and international markets including the UAE and Singapore. The company’s tech-driven approach to home services has positioned it as a category leader in a fragmented sector, drawing attention from both retail and institutional investors.
