Lachy Groom to Lead Funding Round for Indian Startup Pronto at $200M Valuation

Pronto, an Indian startup that connects households with on-demand domestic help, is finalizing a funding round led by investor Lachy Groom that would value the company at about $200 million, according to TechCrunch. The deal is expected to bring in about $20 million in fresh capital. That would double the company's valuation from the $100 million at which it raised $25 million in a Series B round led by Epiq Capital in early March. The Bengaluru-based company handled about 500,000 orders last month and is currently processing around 24,000 to 25,000 orders daily. That is up from about 18,000 daily bookings in March and roughly 1,000 last year. Founded in 2025, Pronto has expanded from one city to 10, including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. The National Capital Region accounts for about half of total bookings. The startup has over 4,500 active professionals on its platform, around 99 percent of whom are women. Before this round, Pronto had raised about $40 million in total. Its investors include Epiq Capital, Glade Brook Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures.
