UrbanClap has announced the launch of its services in the capital city of the United Arab Emirates - Abu Dhabi today. Abu Dhabi is the second city in the UAE where UrbanClap launched its on-demand home services followed by launch in Dubai last year. With the launch in Abu Dhabi, UrbanClap now provides its services across 10 cities in India and 2 cities in the UAE (Dubai).

Commenting on the expansion to Abu Dhabi, Abhiraj Bhal Co-founder of UrbanClap said, “We are ecstatic about the expansion of UrbanClap’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. Additionally, Abu Dhabi has a large pool of service professionals available who are not yet online. This is a huge opportunity for UrbanClap to explore the market and tap into this latent talent and enable them to be independent micro-entrepreneurs in the coming five years - hence reimagining how we have consumed services so far."

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.

With the expansion of business into Abu Dhabi, UrbanClap aims to grow it's UAE business 2x month on month. The platform is already empowering over 100+ businesses and has strategic plans to expand to other GCC countries in the coming months. The company offers services such as beauty and spa at home, cleaning, plumbing, carpentry, appliance repair, painting etc. through its mobile app and website. It operates in 10 cities in India (including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune) and Dubai.
