This would double the company's valuation from the $100M it achieved just weeks earlier in a Series B led by Epiq Capital. Bengaluru-based Pronto completed ~500,000 orders last month and is processing 24,000–25,000 daily orders, up from 18,000 in March and roughly 1,000 a year ago. The platform connects households with on-demand domestic help across 10 Indian cities, with over 4,500 active professionals (99% women). Total funding prior to this round stands at ~$40M from investors including General Catalyst and Bain Capital Ventures. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
