In a city where time is always running out, a Gurgaon-based startup is trying to save yours—by sending house help to your doorstep in just 10 minutes. Meet Pronto, a young startup that’s shaken up the home services space with a bold promise and an even bolder backing.
Barely two months after its launch, Pronto has raised ₹104 crore in Series A funding. The round saw participation from global heavyweights like General Catalyst, Bain Capital Ventures, and Glade Brook Capital—an unusual but significant vote of confidence for such a young player in a highly localised and operationally complex space.

The concept is simple but ambitious: tap on the app, and within 10 minutes, a trained housekeeper shows up to assist with daily cleaning needs. The sight of Pronto’s vibrant green backpacks has already become familiar in several Gurugram neighborhoods. With neatly packed supplies and a digital booking system, the company is positioning itself as the “Swiggy for house help.”
What’s got investors excited isn’t just the speed. It’s the model—on-demand, reliable, and scalable. For working professionals, nuclear families, or just anyone who needs urgent assistance before guests arrive, the 10-minute promise could be a game changer.

That said, questions remain. Can this model work consistently across cities with different dynamics? Will there be a tipping point in demand versus worker availability? But for now, with ₹104 crore in the bank and the early buzz looking strong, Pronto seems ready to clean up—literally and figuratively.
As the company gears up to expand operations, all eyes are on how fast and how far it can go. One thing’s certain: Gurugram’s startup scene just got a lot more interesting.
