The deal is the maiden cheque from Info Edge‘s new B8 Fund-I. The Rs 250 Cr growth-stage vehicle launched in February 2026. Founded in 2016, Yes Madam has stayed bootstrapped and profitable. It scales at-home beauty, salon, and spa services across 55-plus Indian cities.
StartupFeed Insight
The number that matters here is not Rs 50 Cr. It is the gap between Yes Madam’s FY26 revenue of Rs 195 Cr and Urban Company’s FY25 revenue of Rs 1,144 Cr. Yes Madam is roughly one-sixth the size, yet it grew profitably from day one with almost no outside capital. Info Edge is betting the at-home services market can support a second profitable player with a different model: lighter overhead, a women-only partner base, and bootstrapped DNA. Expect a Series B round of Rs 150 to 250 Cr by Q4 FY27, likely at a Rs 1,200 to 1,500 Cr valuation. By StartupFeed Desk.

| Announcement Date | May 25, 2026 | Company press release |
The fact that Yes Madam raises Rs 50 Cr while still profitable is what makes this deal unusual. Most peers in the home services category burn cash for years before turning a profit. Yes Madam did the reverse.

Why did Info Edge back Yes Madam?
Info Edge launched its Rs 250 Cr B8 Fund-I in February 2026 to back later-stage Indian tech-enabled companies. Yes Madam is its first bet. Info Edge has historically backed Zomato, Policybazaar, and Shiprocket from its balance sheet. When Yes Madam raises Rs 50 Cr in its first institutional round, the market reads it as validation from a patient, category-defining backer.
“It is rare to see such capital efficiency in a consumer tech company. This signals the strength of Yes Madam’s value proposition and real customer dependency.”
Amit Behl, Partner, Info Edge Growth Fund.
How does Yes Madam compare to Urban Company?
Urban Company is the giant in the room. It listed on the BSE and NSE in September 2025. The company reported Rs 1,144 Cr in FY25 revenue with a Rs 240 Cr consolidated net profit. Yes Madam is much smaller at Rs 195 Cr in FY26 revenue. But the gap in capital raised is striking. Urban Company raised over $700 Mn across rounds since 2014. Yes Madam has raised just Rs 51.5 Cr in total. One built the category with heavy venture money. The other grew on customer cash.
What’s Next
Watch three things from here. First, how fast Yes Madam can move into new cities without breaking its profitability streak. Second, whether Info Edge follows up with a larger Series B in 12 to 18 months. Third, how the startup defends share as Urban Company expands its beauty vertical aggressively.
