Startups are bringing home services online, just like groceries
Startups like Snabbit, Pronto, and Pync are shaking up daily life in Indian cities by offering home services—think cleaning, laundry, or quick repairs—with Snabbit providing these services in just 10 minutes.
For busy urban families who can't always rely on live-in help or need something done last-minute, this is a real game-changer.
Huge untapped market
Even though we order groceries and rides online all the time, almost all spending on home services still happens offline. That's a huge untapped market.
Snabbit raised $19 million this May to expand fast in Mumbai and Bengaluru, while Pronto's $2 million funding shows investors are excited about bringing these everyday chores online.
Building networks of trained workers
To deliver so quickly, these startups are building tight networks of trained workers—Snabbit calls them "micro clusters," while Pronto uses hubs and training centers.
People love the convenience and keep coming back, but growing beyond big cities is tricky because finding enough reliable workers isn't easy everywhere.
Still, founders believe smaller cities will catch on soon—just like grocery delivery did.
