Lachy Groom To Back Indian Startup Pronto At $200m Valuation,
Share
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email

Quicklyan Indian instant home help startup, is closing a funding round led by tech investor Lachy Groom that would value the fast-growing company at around $200 million post-investment, according to TechCrunch.

The deal is expected to raise about $20 million in new capital and would mark a sharp jump from the $100 million valuation at which the company raised $25 million in a Series B round led by Epiq Capital in early March, doubling its valuation in a matter of weeks, two people familiar with the matter said.

Bangalore-based Pronto completed about 500,000 orders last month and currently processes about 24,000–25,000 orders daily, up from about 18,000 daily bookings in March and about 1,000 last year.

Founded in 2025, Pronto connects households with on-demand domestic help for services like cleaning and chores, promising fast turnaround times through a managed network of workers.

In March, Pronto founder Anjali Sardana told TechCrunch that the startup had expanded from one city to 10 — including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Mumbai — and from five to more than 150 micromarkets. However, much of its business remains concentrated in a few markets, with the National Capital Region accounting for about half of total bookings.

The startup has more than 4,500 active professionals on its platform, about 99 percent of whom are women, Sardana said last month, adding that demand continued to outpace new workers as bookings rose about 20 percent each week.

Prior to this funding, Pronto had raised approximately $40 million in total. Its investors include Epiq Capital, Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst and Bain Capital Ventures.
