Pronto, an Indian instant house-help startup based in Bengaluru, is finalizing a funding round led by tech investor Lachy Groom that would value the company at about $200 million after investment, TechCrunch reported. The round is expected to bring in about $20 million in fresh capital.
Two people familiar with the matter stated that the new funding would double Pronto's valuation in a matter of weeks.
This funding would mark a jump from the $100 million valuation at which Pronto raised $25 million in a Series B round led by Epiq Capital in early March 2026. Before this funding, Pronto had raised about $40 million in total. Pronto's investors include Epiq Capital, Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures.
Pronto and Lachy Groom did not respond to requests for comment. Pronto completed about 500,000 orders last month and is currently handling around 24,000–25,000 orders daily. The company handled about 18,000 daily bookings in March 2026 and roughly 1,000 daily bookings last year.
Founded in 2025, Pronto connects households with on-demand domestic help for services such as cleaning and chores. In March 2026, Pronto expanded from one city to 10 cities including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, according to Anjali Sardana. In March 2026, Pronto expanded from five to more than 150 micromarkets, Sardana said.
The National Capital Region accounts for about half of Pronto's total bookings. Pronto has over 4,500 active professionals on its platform, around 99% of whom are women, Sardana stated in March 2026. She added that demand continued to outpace onboarding of new workers as bookings grew about 20% week over week.
