Pronto’s Rapid Growth Attracts Major Investment, Doubling Valuation to $200 Million
Pronto, an Indian startup specializing in on-demand domestic services, is on the verge of securing a significant funding round led by prominent tech investor Lachy Groom. This investment is set to elevate the company’s valuation to approximately $200 million, marking a substantial increase from its previous valuation of $100 million during a Series B round in early March. The forthcoming deal is expected to infuse about $20 million in fresh capital into the company.
Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Bengaluru, Pronto has rapidly expanded its operations. The company completed around 500,000 orders last month and is currently managing between 24,000 to 25,000 orders daily. This is a significant rise from approximately 18,000 daily bookings in March and a stark contrast to the roughly 1,000 daily bookings recorded the previous year.
Pronto’s platform connects households with on-demand domestic help for services such as cleaning and other household chores, ensuring quick turnaround times through a managed network of workers. In March, founder Anjali Sardana shared with TechCrunch that the startup had expanded from a single city to ten, including major metropolitan areas like Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. The company has also grown from five to over 150 micromarkets. Despite this rapid expansion, a significant portion of its activity remains concentrated in a few markets, with the National Capital Region accounting for about half of the total bookings.
The startup boasts over 4,500 active professionals on its platform, with approximately 99% being women. Sardana noted that demand continues to outpace the onboarding of new workers, as bookings have been growing by about 20% week over week.
Prior to this impending funding round, Pronto had raised approximately $40 million in total. Its investors include Epiq Capital, Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures.
Pronto and Lachy Groom have not responded to requests for comment regarding this development.
