The investment, valued at Rs 632.21 crore, coincided with the end of the mandatory lock-in period for pre-IPO shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rise came after three early investors \u2013 DF International Partners II, ABG Capital, and Wellington Hadley Harbor Aiv Master Investors (Cayman) III \u2013 sold shares worth a combined Rs 734.4 crore through block deals on Tuesday. On the NSE, DF International Partners II and ABG Capital offloaded shares worth Rs 385.16 crore, while Wellington Hadley Harbor sold Rs 349.23 crore on the BSE. The transactions accounted for 4.6% of Urban Company\u2019s equity, with DF International Partners II and Wellington Hadley Harbor exiting completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urban Company, which debuted on September 17, 2025, at a 57% premium over its issue price of Rs 103, has struggled since listing. The stock is down 16% year-to-date and trades just 7% above its issue price, after peaking at Rs 201.18 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gurugram-based firm reported a net loss of Rs 21 crore in the December quarter, reversing a profit of Rs 232 crore a year ago. The loss was attributed to aggressive investments in its new InstaHelp housekeeping vertical. Despite this, the company\u2019s revenue from operations rose 33% year-on-year to Rs 383 crore, with net transaction value up 36% excluding Saudi Arabia, reflecting broad-based growth across India and international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investor interest from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbimf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SBI Mutual Fund<\/a> could provide a positive signal for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbancompany.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Urban Company\u2019s<\/a> stock, highlighting confidence in the platform\u2019s long-term growth potential despite near-term losses. The stock\u2019s recovery also suggests renewed market attention as the company continues to scale its high-frequency home services business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shares of home services platform Urban Company surged up to 9% to Rs 119.50 on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[142],"class_list":["post-703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-consumer-durables","tag-urbanco"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Urban Company shares rise 9% as SBI Mutual Fund buys Rs 632 crore stake, while early investors exit.
