India's home services market is currently valued at $60 billion, and Urban Company stands as the market leader in this space. Our unwavering focus on providing consistent, high-quality service has transformed us into a trusted household brand. While many people perceive UC simply as a services marketplace, we are actually a full-stack, tech-enabled ecosystem. Beyond standard services, we also offer comprehensive home transformation solutions under our Revamp brand.
Operating at the scale of Urban Company requires managing massive data complexity. Throughout every delivery journey, data points are generated from app interactions, customer preferences, and post-service warranty details. These points are converted into metrics that allow us to maintain quality across the entire platform. My role is to ensure our data pipelines run flawlessly, allowing our North Star metrics—such as real-time partner availability, demand loss, net traffic, NPS, and partner earnings—to flow with precision. This foundation makes integrating GenAI simple, fast, and "plug and play" for our development teams.
Innovations like our GenAI-powered voice bots for partner onboarding and our proof-of-work quality audit platform were only possible because of this strong data ecosystem. Snowflake's unified data lake and compute engine have enabled us to utilize the platform very effectively. Snowflake stands out to us for two primary reasons: its near-instant support and its rapid pace of innovation. A prime example of this is Snowflake Cortex, which allows us to build and launch context-rich AI agents directly on top of our data lake, powering use cases like text-to-SQL.
Snowflake didn't just simplify our architecture; it delivered measurable ROI. In fact, the Snowflake team proactively partnered with us to optimize our usage, reducing our cloud billing by approximately 25% without impacting performance. As we continue to scale a complex global ecosystem, we need data to be instantly accessible while remaining compliant with multiple regulatory frameworks. From protecting unpublished, price-sensitive information under SEBI guidelines to adhering to India's DPDP Act, Snowflake enables us to serve critical business metrics and fully democratize data access across teams.
It provides a single source of truth while consistently enforcing regulatory compliance across all the countries where we operate. With predictive models, automated quality checks, and real-time feedback loops, we can detect issues early and take corrective action instantly. The blend of demand forecasting and quality assurance is what allows us to deliver a consistent, high-trust experience even during peak loads. Snowflake's robust data infrastructure is what makes this possible. Urban Company is disrupting how home services and appliances are perceived, and Snowflake sits at the heart of that change, powering our data rails.
