Pronto raises $25 Mn in Series B led by Epiq Capital Home services startup Pronto has raised $25 million (around Rs 228.9 crore) in its Series B round led by Epiq Capital. Existing investors Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures also participated in the round. The round comes six months after Pronto raised an $11 million Series A round. The proceeds will be used to hire and train more professionals and strengthen operations across existing markets and service categories over the next 12 to 18 months. Founded in 2025 by Anjali Sardana, Pronto offers 10-minute on-demand home services, connecting urban households with trained and background-verified domestic workers. The platform provides services such as sweeping, mopping, utensil washing, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, laundry assistance, and other routine chores through instant, scheduled, or recurring bookings. The startup operates in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, among other cities. It claims its daily bookings have increased from around 1,000 to over 18,000 in the past seven months and says it is growing at more than 20% week-on-week. Pronto currently works with nearly 3,000 professionals and has a core team of about 60 employees. The brand recently shifted its headquarters to Bengaluru while retaining customer support operations in Gurugram. In the instant home services segment, it faces competition from Snabbit and Urban Company’s Insta Help. Snabbit secured $30 million in a Series C round in October last year. Urban Company recently claimed that Insta Help surpassed 50,000 daily bookings within a year of its launch, while Snabbit recorded over 8 lakh bookings in February alone.

Content: Quick home services platform Snabbit has announced that it is joining forces with the founding team of Pync as it looks to scale up in India’s rapidly growing quick home services market. The acquihire brings Pync’s founders Harsh Prateek, Mayank S and Dev Priyam into Snabbit, where they are expected to take up senior roles across operations and business functions. Founded in 2023, Pync initially offered car-cleaning subscriptions. The startup later pivoted to quick house services and raised about $2 million in seed funding from Accel, Bharat Founders Fund and Betterindustries. Before wrapping up the brand, it operated only in Bengaluru and served over 25,000 households with more than 1,000 service professionals. Harsh Prateek, co-founder of Pync, said the two teams shared a similar approach to operations and consumer experience, and that combining Pync’s lean execution with Snabbit’s scale would help accelerate growth. The development also comes at a time when Snabbit is also in talks to raise a larger funding round of around $100 million. Entrackr had exclusively reported the development in October last year. It has already raked in over $25 million from the likes of Elevation Capital and Nexus Venture Partners. The acquihire and the forthcoming funding are expected to strengthen Snabbit’s competitive position against its key rival and industry leader Urban Company, which was recently listed on Indian stock exchanges. The company also competes with Pronto, a ten-minute house-help services startup that has raised $11 million in a funding round co-led by General Catalyst and Glade Brook Capital.
