Lachy Groom Leads $200M Valuation Investment in Indian Startup Pronto
Pronto, an Indian Instant House-Help Startup, Nears $200 Million Valuation in Funding Round Led by Lachy Groom
Pronto, an Indian instant house-help startup, is on the verge of finalizing a funding round led by tech investor Lachy Groom that is set to value the company at approximately $200 million post-investment, according to sources at TechCrunch.
The upcoming deal is projected to inject around $20 million in fresh capital into Pronto, marking a significant increase from the $100 million valuation achieved when the company raised $25 million in a Series B round led by Epiq Capital earlier in March. This rapid surge in valuation signifies the company’s remarkable growth trajectory in just a matter of weeks, as disclosed by insiders.
Based in Bengaluru, Pronto recently processed about 500,000 orders in the previous month and currently manages approximately 24,000–25,000 orders daily, a substantial uptick from the 18,000 daily bookings recorded in March and a mere 1,000 bookings last year.
Established in 2025, Pronto serves as a platform that connects households with on-demand domestic help for various services like cleaning and chores, offering swift service through a well-managed network of workers.
During a previous interview with TechCrunch in March, Pronto’s founder Anjali Sardana highlighted the startup’s expansion from one city to ten, including prominent locations like Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, along with an increase from five to over 150 micromarkets. Despite this widespread presence, a significant portion of its operations remains concentrated in key markets, with the National Capital Region accounting for approximately half of the total bookings.
Notably, Pronto boasts over 4,500 active professionals on its platform, with women comprising about 99% of the workforce, as revealed by Sardana. The escalating demand continues to outpace the recruitment of new workers, with bookings experiencing a consistent 20% weekly growth.
Prior to the imminent funding round, Pronto had secured approximately $40 million in total funding from a range of investors, including Epiq Capital, Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures.
