Chances are you've used Urban Company to get that lockdown haircut so you're groomed for your meetings but have you ever thought about how such a massive company, valued close to $1B was founded?

Who better to learn about the inner workings of a behemoth than the founder of Urban Company himself?

On Saturday, 21st of November, at 9:30 PM IST (8AM PST) join us as we ‘Bridge Entrepreneurial Landscapes: From the Valley to India’ with Raghav Chandra, Co-Founder of Asia’s largest human services platform.

Present across India, UAE, Australia and Singapore, Raghav has understood and delivered what the global audience wants best.
