The details

Pronto raised $45 million in a Series B funding round to expand its services in existing cities.
Epiq Capital led the first tranche of $25 million, while Lachy Groom led the second tranche of $20 million.
The company's valuation has doubled to $200 million within a month.
Pronto has raised a total of $60 million to date, with investors including General Catalyst, Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital, and Epiq Capital.
The startup was founded in 2025 by Anjali Sardana and operates in cities like Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, and Mumbai.
Pronto offers on-demand household services such as cleaning, laundry, utensil washing, and meal preparation.
The company has expanded its services to include car washing, gardening, and home cooks in select micromarkets.
Pronto's workforce has grown from 1,440 professionals in January to 6,500 over the last four months.

The bigger picture

The household services market in urban India is largely informal, with little certainty for either households or workers.
Pronto aims to bring structure to the sector by offering fixed shifts, predictable pay, and support for workers.
The startup plans to strengthen its presence in existing cities over the next six months rather than expanding to new ones.
The funding comes amid intensifying competition in the quick services segment, with rivals like Snabbit and Urban Company's Insta Help also raising significant capital.
