Pronto, an Indian startup specializing in instant house-help services, is on the verge of completing a funding round led by tech investor Lachy Groom, which would value the company at approximately $200 million post-investment, according to information obtained by JS.
The investment is expected to infuse about $20 million in new capital, significantly increasing Pronto’s valuation from $100 million, the figure at which it secured $25 million in a Series B funding round led by Epiq Capital in early March. This effectively doubles the company’s valuation in just a few weeks, as indicated by two individuals familiar with the details.
Last month, Bengaluru-based Pronto handled around 500,000 orders and is currently managing approximately 24,000 to 25,000 orders daily. This is an increase from about 18,000 daily orders in March and roughly 1,000 a year ago.
Founded in 2025, Pronto connects households with on-demand domestic help for tasks like cleaning and chores, ensuring quick service through a structured network of workers.
In March, Pronto’s founder, Anjali Sardana, shared with JS that the startup had expanded from operating in one city to ten, including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, and from five to more than 150 micromarkets. Despite this growth, a large portion of its operations is still focused on a few areas, with the National Capital Region accounting for about half of all bookings.
The platform hosts over 4,500 active professionals, with approximately 99% being women, as Sardana mentioned last month. The demand has consistently outpaced the onboarding of new workers, with bookings growing around 20% each week.
Prior to this funding round, Pronto had raised around $40 million in total from investors including Epiq Capital, Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures.
