Pronto raised $25 million in a Series B round led by Epiq Capital, with General Catalyst, Glade Brook Capital, and Bain Capital Ventures also participating, pushing its valuation to $100 million.
The Cash and the Crazy Multiplier
- The Big Check: Pronto just locked down a massive $25 million in their Series B funding round. Epiq Capital led the charge, but heavy hitters like General Catalyst, Glade Brook Capital, and Bain Capital Ventures also opened their wallets to back the vision.
- An Insane Valuation Jump: This is the part that makes you do a double-take. Back in May 2025, the company was valued at a modest $12.5 million. Today, with this new cash in the bank, they are sitting at a $100 million valuation. Pulling off an eightfold jump in less than a year is incredibly rare.
The “10-Minute” Chore Hack
- Throwing Out the Old Rulebook: We all know how standard cleaning apps work—you book a deep clean days in advance and wait around. Pronto completely scrapped that. They treat dirty dishes the same way grocery apps treat a late-night snack craving. If you suddenly need your floors mopped or laundry folded, you tap the app, and a vetted worker is at your door in about ten minutes.
- People Cannot Get Enough: The growth curve here is ridiculous. Just seven months ago, they were handling roughly 1,000 jobs a day. Now? They are slamming through 18,000 daily bookings and cleared over 350,000 total orders just this past February.
- The Addiction Factor: Users aren’t just trying it once out of curiosity. The data shows the average person comes back to book their second chore within 48 hours, and the true power users are hitting the app nine or more times a month.
Changing the Game for Workers
- Fixing a Broken System: The traditional domestic help scene in India is famously chaotic, leaving workers with zero job security and constantly fluctuating pay. Pronto is actively formalizing the whole setup.
- Real Money, Real Stability: They have brought on roughly 3,000 trained professionals, and 99% of them are women. Instead of haggling over daily rates across different apartments, these workers are pulling in a highly predictable ₹23,000 to ₹25,000 every single month.
- Actual Respect: On top of a steady paycheck, they get real benefits. We are talking fixed working shifts, proper health insurance, and built-in safety tracking through the app.
Where the $25 Million is Going
- The Next 18 Months: Founder and CEO Anjali Sardana isn’t going to let that money just sit in a bank account. The immediate game plan involves aggressive hiring, launching entirely new types of chore services, and expanding way beyond the 10 cities they currently operate in.
- Packing Up and Moving: They are also making some major corporate shifts to fit better into the local startup scene. They recently moved their legal registration from Delaware straight back to India and relocated their main headquarters from Gurugram down to Bengaluru.
The Rarest Trait: Good Math
- Keeping Cash Burn Low: A lot of hyper-growth startups bleed money constantly, but Pronto has only burned through about $8 million to get to this massive scale.
- Actually Making a Profit: Here is the real kicker. In their oldest, most established neighbourhoods in Gurugram, they are actually achieving positive contribution margins. That means they are making a real profit on the individual chores before factoring in the big corporate overhead costs.
