Help the 10 -minute pronto house sparked an assessment jump of 3.6x in just 90 days

In 2025, the average urban Indian no longer needs to wait a very long time (except in government offices and in traffic): they simply have to order what they need in an application, and it will be delivered in a few minutes. The explosion of fast trade in the country has meant that millions of Indians get used to more and more not to have to wait for deliveries, or get out of their homes, because startups are almost everything, food and grocery store with smartphones and game consoles, available in a few minutes.

It seems that investors do not want to wait long: a budding startup from New Delhi called Prontowhich allows users to book and take advantage of cleaning, laundry and home services services within 10 minutes, tripled its assessment in less than 90 days.

It was only in May when pronto collected a seed lap of $ 2 million an evaluation of $ 12.5 million. The startup has now raised a series of $ 11 million by a post-money assessment of $ 45 million, co-directed by General Catalyst and Glade Brook Capital. The existing investor Bain Capital Ventures also participated in this Tour.

The new financing comes in the wake of a solid traction: Pronto claims that his income has increased by almost five times, the founder and CEO Anjali Sardana in Techcrunch, since he came out of stealth just three months ago.

The startup now has reservations in the number of “four figures” every day, and provides for recurring annual income in the range of $ 750,000 to 1.5 million dollars, said Sardana, although it has refused to disclose exact figures.

“This is largely limited to two things: one being the momentum and the crazy speed at which we editions, as well as investors recognizing the quality of the team and the speed at which we execute,” said Sardana, explaining what led investors to finance the series so little time after its seed tour.

For investors, Sardana seems to be the main reason why they are betting so early. “We were very impressed by Anjali,” said Rahul Garg, partner of General Catalyst. “Given the youth, given that she spent a lot of time in the United States after her arrival in India, what she was able to achieve, the comments of supply partners, customer comments, her thought process and how she wants to build and evolve this business, we found this very inspiring.”

Pronto is not the only startup connecting national workers with consumers. Lightspeed Venture Partners recently supported Snabbit, and an urban company for IPO also offers similar service.

Garg told Techcrunch that India has 180 to 190 million nuclear families who are potential customers for domestic services, and a semi-qualified and unskilled workforce of 35 million which could operate a cumulative salary pool of $ 35 billion in this space.

“Whatever you look at the market, this is large enough for several players to build a sustainable business,” he said.

Expansion plans

Pronto now has six hubs in Gurugram, a satellite city from New Delhi, against two in May. Each of these hubs serves customers within 1.5 mile.

The startup initially responded to 70% to 80% of demand within 500 meters from households, because its first two centers were located in densely populated residential areas. He has now set up hubs in intersections so that his workers can quickly reach several spread and spread sectors.

The main Pronto customers are working professionals, and they see high demand. “Household help is widespread in India. And therefore, these are use cases where demand is quite concentrated, even in small watershed areas, “said Garg.

The startup now plans to develop both in Gurugram and in new markets, including Mumbai, Bengaluru and other major cities, over the next 12 to 18 months.

Pronto has a workforce of 33 people and has around 750 workers registered on its platform.
