Urban Company Ltd on Wednesday released a report showing that women service professionals who own two-wheelers earn 14 per cent more in net monthly income than peers relying on public or hired transport. The Gurugram-based platform published the findings, titled the Ride to Rise report, as a regulatory disclosure to the BSE and NSE under SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations.

The report documents outcomes from the company’s Udaan initiative, which provides an end-to-end mobility ecosystem covering riding training, licensing support, financing access, and two-wheeler ownership. As of the date of publication, the programme has supported approximately 1,800 women service professionals across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad — of whom over 1,100 have been trained to ride and more than 700 have purchased two-wheelers.

The company attributes the earnings uplift to operational gains: faster travel between bookings, fewer cancellations by cab and auto services, reduced waiting time, and better access to peak-hour demand slots — all of which directly affect how many appointments a professional can complete in a day.

The report also includes a five-year cost analysis, estimating that two-wheeler owners can save approximately ₹2.7 lakh over that period compared to continuing to use paid transport, while also building ownership of a tangible asset.

CEO Abhiraj Singh Bhal described mobility as “a powerful economic enabler” and said the initiative was designed as a complete pathway to independence rather than a solution to a single constraint.

Urban Company’s stock closed at ₹114.08 on the NSE on Wednesday, down 0.11 per cent from the previous close of ₹114.20, on a trading range of ₹112.99 to ₹116.15 for the session.
