A young entrepreneur’s fast-growing startup has drawn attention in India’s startup ecosystem after reaching a $100 million valuation within a year of launch.

Pronto, a 10-minute home services platform founded by 23-year-old Anjali Sardana, recently raised $25 million in a new funding round, signalling strong investor confidence in the rapidly expanding on-demand household services sector.

The investment round was led by Epiq Capital, with existing investors Glade Brook Capital Partners, General Catalyst and Bain Capital Ventures increasing their stakes.

Rapid growth in less than a year

Sardana shared the milestone on social media, reflecting on the startup’s remarkable journey since its launch in April 2025.

According to her, the company started with a single operational hub in Sector 56, Gurugram, where the team worked relentlessly to build the platform.

“Nine months ago, we had one hub and were sleeping on the floor to ensure customers who had made bookings received reliable service,” she wrote.

At the time, the platform handled around 170 bookings per day.

Today, Pronto processes more than 18,000 daily bookings, supported by over 3,000 service professionals on the platform.

A significant portion of the demand—nearly 20 percent—comes from Bengaluru, highlighting the city’s strong appetite for fast home service solutions.

What Pronto offers

Pronto operates as an instant home services platform, allowing users to book trained domestic workers through a mobile application.

The services include:

  • Sweeping and mopping
  • Utensil washing
  • Kitchen and bathroom cleaning
  • Laundry assistance
  • General household chores

The platform promises quick booking and rapid service delivery, positioning itself as a convenient solution for urban households with busy lifestyles.

Currently, the service operates in more than 10 Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai.

Young founder with global exposure

Anjali Sardana, the founder and CEO of Pronto, graduated in 2024 from Georgetown University in the United States, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology.

Before launching the startup, she worked as an investor at Bain Capital and venture firm 8VC, gaining exposure to the startup and investment ecosystem.

According to Sardana, she holds around 40 percent ownership in the company, while Glade Brook Capital remains the largest external shareholder with approximately 15 percent stake.

The rapid growth of Pronto reflects the increasing demand for technology-driven home services in urban India, as more households turn to digital platforms for everyday tasks.
