In India’s booming quick-commerce market, a New Delhi-based startup is bringing the “delivered in minutes” promise to household chores. Pronto, which lets users book cleaning, laundry, and home services within 10 minutes, has tripled its valuation in less than three months.
After raising $2 million at a $12.5 million valuation in May, Pronto has now closed an $11 million Series A round at a $45 million valuation. The funding was co-led by General Catalyst and Glade Brook Capital, with Bain Capital Ventures also participating.
The momentum comes from rapid growth, Pronto’s revenue has climbed nearly fivefold since its stealth launch, with daily bookings now in the four-digit range. Founder and CEO Anjali Sardana credits “insane scaling speed” and team quality for attracting early follow-on investment.
Investors see vast market potential. India has nearly 190 million nuclear families and a 35 million-strong domestic workforce, representing a $35 billion wage pool. Pronto currently operates six hubs in Gurugram and plans to expand to Mumbai, Bengaluru, and other major cities within 18 months.
With 33 employees and around 750 workers on its platform, Pronto is positioning itself to be a frontrunner in India’s fast-moving household services sector.
