College Grad Builds $100M Company in Under a Year
3 Apr
Summary
- Pronto achieved a $100 million valuation within one year.
- The app connects users with trained, verified domestic workers.
- Services are often delivered within 10 minutes via local hubs.
Anjali Sardana, a recent Georgetown University graduate, has rapidly built her home services company, Pronto, to a valuation of approximately $100 million in under a year. The company began operations in early 2025 with a single hub in Gurugram, handling about 170 bookings daily. By early 2026, Pronto was facilitating over 18,000 daily bookings and expanded to major cities including Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai.
Pronto addresses the disorganization within India's vast domestic services market. The app allows users to book trained and verified workers for everyday tasks. A key feature is the rapid service delivery, often within 10 minutes, facilitated by a network of local hubs. The company also provides structured income opportunities for its workforce, many of whom are women trained as service professionals.
Sardana's background in finance and investing, including work with Georgetown's investment office and internships at Morgan Stanley and Bain Capital, provided a strong foundation for Pronto's swift execution and scaling. Investors have responded positively to the company's performance. In March 2026, Pronto raised $25 million in a funding round led by Epiq Capital, solidifying its valuation. This followed an earlier $11 million raise in 2025.
