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.
