MyGate
MyGate is a Bengaluru-based business that Arisetty, Abhishek Kumar, and Shreyans Daga founded in 2016. The co-founders decided to create the business after identifying a need in the security and gated community sectors. Currently, the app is present in roughly 3.9 million homes in India. A community commerce platform called MyCommunity Genie was purchased by the startup last year in a deal that included both cash and stock.
The co-founder and CEO of Urban Company, Abhiraj Singh Bahl, noted that this alliance will aid UC in developing a more thorough understanding of gated communities. In addition to opening up new customer demand channels for us, this will also allow us to innovate our product line to better serve gated communities. This will increase our visibility in the major cities, he said.
Through this investment, the Urban Company and Acko each obtained a small ownership part in the business.
