AtHomeDiva functions under the QuikrServices vertical and offers on-demand, in-home beauty services across Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Gurgaon and Hyderabad. Speaking about the recent acquisition of StayGlad, PD Sundar, Head, QuikrServices stated that StayGlad is one of the largest players in beauty services with a 70 per cent customer repeat rate, which makes it a ‘great fit’ for AtHomeDiva.
