India | May 07, 2026: Pronto, the instant household services platform, announced the closure of its $45 million Series B funding round, which includes a $20 million investment from Lachy Groom, co-founder of AI robotics firm Physical Intelligence and an early investor in Zepto. The latest round values the company at $200 million, effectively doubling its valuation in about a month.
Since the first tranche of the Series B was closed, Pronto has expanded rapidly, with daily bookings rising to 26,000 from around 18,000, and its network of trained, background-verified professionals growing from 1,440 in January to 6,500 over four months.
The platform now operates at over 65% utilization, indicating strong demand and improving efficiency. Founder and CEO Anjali Sardana said Pronto aims to become the world’s largest labor organization platform by addressing the challenges of informal labor markets, particularly in urban India where household help is still largely arranged through informal networks.
The company ensures reliability for households by providing trained professionals who show up on time, while also offering workers steady income and structured work conditions. Pronto plans to deepen its presence in existing cities and expand services such as car washing, gardening, and pilot home-cooked meal offerings in Bengaluru. Lachy Groom noted that organizing informal labor is one of the most difficult yet important challenges in the services economy, and praised the team’s operational execution at scale.
