TechCrunch reports that Indian startup Pronto is finalizing a new funding round led by tech investor Lachy Groom. The deal would value the instant house-help platform at approximately $200 million following the investment.
According to people familiar with the matter, the round is expected to bring in about $020 million in fresh capital. This would represent a massive jump from the $100 million valuation the company achieved during its Series B round in early March.
Pronto has seen rapid growth in its order volume over the past year. The Bengaluru-based company completed roughly 500,000 orders last month and currently processes between 24,000 and 25,000 daily bookings. This follows a period of much lower activity, with the platform handling only about 1,000 orders daily last year.
Rapid expansion across India
Founded in 2025, Pronto connects households with on-demand domestic workers for cleaning and various chores. The startup operates through a managed network of professionals to ensure quick service turnaround.
In March, Pronto founder Anjali Sardana told TechCrunch that the startup had expanded its footprint from a single city to 10, including major hubs like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi NCR. The service has also grown from five to more than 150 micromarkets.
Despite this wide reach, much of the company's activity is concentrated in specific regions. The National Capital Region currently accounts for about half of the platform's total bookings.
Sardana previously noted that the platform hosts over 4,500 active professionals, roughly 99% of whom are women. She also stated that demand for services is currently outpacing the onboarding of new workers, as bookings have been increasing at a rate of about 20% week over week.
Prior to this potential round, Pronto has raised approximately $40 million in total funding. The company's investor roster includes General Catalyst, Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital, and Epiq Capital.
