Pronto, an Indian startup focused on domestic work services, has raised $2 million in seed funding to transform the country's fragmented domestic labor market. The company offers on-demand house help services that can be delivered in as little as 10 minutes. Unlike traditional platforms, Pronto avoids a commission-based model to provide income stability for its workers, referred to as Pronto Professionals. Bain Capital Ventures is among the investors backing Pronto, even as other competitors in the sector face criticism. This move comes amid growing competition in the Indian domestic services market, with companies like Urban Company potentially facing pressure as Airbnb expands into at-home services.
Pronto, which provides house help services in as little as 10 minutes, is reimagining India’s fragmented domestic services market by eschewing the traditional commission-based model in order to provide income stability to Pronto Professionals. Congrats on the $2M seed! https://t.co/4D3cJq94uJ
Likely some pressure on India’s @urbancompany_UC Urban Company soon as @Airbnb launches at-home services. (Also, Airbnb’s redesign is sick!) https://t.co/KIBRYc7ySf
