A bit more on the teams that run the show!
We believe in creating great user experiences through really strong technology platforms. After one year in business, we migrated the storefront to a completely new platform to improve performance & programmer productivity. We’ve rolled out a Mobile app for our delivery teams to make the process smoother. And oh, we recently launched a Wardrobe app for building customized versions of the Urban Ladder wardrobe! |
“Every week in UL is 5 days of adventure and fun. On the professional front UL has given me opportunities to learn various
technologies across platforms be it mobile/web. My biggest achievement is programming the entire back-end for an Android app.”
- Amrita Koley, Developer “It's been fantastic journey so far in UrbanLadder.It is great opportunity to learn and translate that learning into action rapidly. I think UrbanLadder is best path to climb on career ladder. Apart from work I like flexibility and fun @UL”- Vijay Yadav, Developer |
The Wardrobe app is as close to the physical experience of getting custom-built furniture from a carpenter as it
can get online. Read more: Behind Urban Ladder’s $21M round: a sneak peek at ‘wardrobe configurator’ at

We’re striving to disrupt the traditional Indian furniture manufacturing ecosystem to create high quality products at scale by constantly innovating on quality processes and leveraging technology. Over 60% of our products are designed grounds up. Our first filter for product selection is whether we would want to own these products ourselves! |
“Love the work culture, product that we’re fair to people, proud that we’re not afraid to experiment,
proud that we’re changing things, and proud that while doing all this, we don’t forget to poke fun at each other”
- Rahul Jagannathan, Category Manager “Looking at some Urban Ladder products at my home, my neighbour said – “Wow! Where did you get such products from ? I wonder who selects these products” – I felt proud thinking “ I’m part of that”- Sneha Roy, Category Manager |
“Great to work with, well coordinated bunch of guys. Very creative, I think they infuse some much needed inspiration to
the furniture industry in India”
- Aashir Valia, Director, Furniture Manufacturing Concern
“The Latt Bench is our favourite place to sit & watch Bangalore rains, to do the homework, to sit down and read a book for adults & babies alike at home!.Thank you UL!”- Padmamanasa, Customer
We hold a high bar for customer experience, and safe and hassle free delivery is one of the most important parts of it. Each product is personally delivered and installed by Urban Ladder’s own logistics team. |

with a highly committed and driven team makes this journey all the more fun-filled and desirable.“

“It is attention to detail that has helped it strike a chord with customers. For instance, when its delivery
team makes an installation, they unpack and check the furniture, install it neatly and clean the house.
The company has laid down standard operating procedures for loading and unloading.”
- Customer
“I would especially like to thank Arif, in Pune, who has made delivery, follow-up etc such a pleasure. He's come personally
with his team, set up our furniture in the right place, and taken such pride in his work.”

We are seen as the pioneer of Facebook marketing in the Indian e-commerce space. We were the first to leverage the Facebook newsfeed extensively to reach our audiences. The team takes great pride in its trademark style of banners and communication which is widely appreciated by customers and fans alike. With an eclectic mix of left and right brained folks, the UL marketing team is a fun place to pick up essential marketing skills – both digital and offline. |

experimentation, freedom to make decisions and complete ownership of your initiatives.“

to build and scale as a marketing channel. Our other clients are always keen to learn how UL gets the maximum out of Facebook.”

The online furniture company has earlier created brand value and recall with its Facebook advertising. It also uses other digital media such as Google advertising, retargeting and email marketing to reach its customers.
Going the extra mile for our customers is not an exception, but a culture within the Customer Service team and the company as a whole. Be it sending temporary beds in time for a newly married customer who ordered the bed late or to allow the customer to experience a product before paying for it, we believe it is the right thing to do! |

new things.“
