Lachy Groom is backing Indian startup Pronto at a valuation of $200 million, sources say.

Pronto, an instant domestic helper startup in India, is closing a funding round led by tech investor Lachy Groom that will value the fast-growing company at around $200 million following the investment, TechCrunch has learned.

The deal is expected to bring in about $20 million in new capital and would mark a sharp jump from the $100 million valuation the company raised at the beginning of March, when it raised $25 million in a Series B round led by Epiq Capital, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Bengaluru-based Pronto completed about 500,000 orders last month and is currently processing about 24,000-25,000 orders per day. That’s up from about 18,000 daily bookings in March and about 1,000 last year.

Founded in 2025, Pronto connects homes with on-demand household assistance for services such as cleaning, housekeeping and more, and promises fast turnaround times through a network of managed staff.

Last March, Pronto founder Anjali Sardana told TechCrunch that the startup had expanded from one city to 10 cities and from five to over 150 micromarkets, including Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru and Mumbai. However, most of the activity is still concentrated in a small number of markets, with metropolitan areas accounting for about half of all bookings.

Sardana said last month that the startup has more than 4,500 active professionals on its platform, about 99% of whom are women. He added that demand continues to outpace onboarding new employees, with bookings increasing by about 20% week over week.

Prior to this funding, Pronto had raised a total of $40 million. Investors include Epiq Capital, Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures.
