Lachy Groom is poised to lead a new $20 million funding round for Pronto, India's leading on-demand house-help startup, at a whopping $200 million post-money valuation.
This investment follows closely on the heels of Pronto's $25 million Series B round in March 2026, which valued the company at $100 million and doubled its worth in mere weeks.
Pronto's Explosive Growth Trajectory
Founded in 2025 in Bengaluru, Pronto connects busy urban households with vetted domestic workers for instant cleaning and chores via a managed network.
The platform now processes 24,000 to 25,000 orders daily, a staggering leap from just 1,000 orders a year ago.
Last month alone, Pronto completed approximately 500,000 orders, showcasing hyper-growth fueled by 20% week-over-week increases.
From a single city launch, it has expanded to 10 major markets including Delhi NCR and Mumbai, covering over 150 micromarkets.
Empowering Women in India's Gig Economy
Over 4,500 active professionals power the service, with nearly 99% being women, formalizing opportunities in the informal domestic sector.
This scaling addresses surging demand in India's urban centers, where time-strapped professionals seek reliable on-demand help amid rising disposable incomes.
Existing backers like Epiq Capital, Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures are participating, signaling strong investor confidence.
With fresh capital, Pronto aims to accelerate onboarding, expand geographically, and solidify dominance in the burgeoning Indian home services market.
The startup's trajectory underscores a shift toward gig platforms professionalizing traditional house help, promising broader economic impact.
