Quick-services platform Pronto has relocated its headquarters from Gurugram to Bengaluru as the company gears up for its next phase of growth on the back of deeper tech hiring and a multi-city expansion plan.
The move comes six months after the startup began operations from a small hub in Sector 56, Gurgaon, where the founding team of five handled bookings, slept on the hub floor and stitched together the company’s early operations.
The Bengaluru office, located in HSR Layout, will now house Pronto’s core product, engineering, design and finance functions. Customer support and some operational teams will continue to operate out of Gurugram to maintain service continuity in the north. The company has grown to over 200 people and is currently active across Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru, with Hyderabad next on the rollout list.
Tech at the Centre of the Shift
Pronto’s move is anchored in the increasing need for strong engineering talent as competition is heating up in the fast-response household services segment. The deep product and tech ecosystem of Bengaluru made the city a natural choice for the company’s central decision-making hub.
The relocation places its technology, product and data-science teams in the city, while its operations network, including neighbourhood micro-hubs that enable quick turnaround times, continues to expand across metros. The company is building towards a model that borrows the speed architecture of quick commerce and applies it to everyday household tasks.
Pronto currently fulfils services such as cleaning, laundry, basic cooking assistance, childcare, dog walking and elder care. The platform follows a task-based pricing structure instead of hourly billing, supported by real-time allocation systems and standardised training for service professionals.
Pronto’s Rise: Backed by Fresh Capital
The shift to Bengaluru follows Pronto’s $11-million Series A round in August 2025, co-led by General Catalyst and Glade Brook Capital, with continued backing from Bain Capital Ventures. The raise pegged the company’s valuation at $45 million post-money.
The funds are being directed toward setting up more micro-hubs, onboarding over 10,000 trained professionals, and strengthening its real-time operations engine as it enters new cities. Pronto’s management said the company will continue investing heavily in training-led quality control and rapid fulfilment infrastructure.
From a Five-Member Team to a Three-City Network
Even as Pronto formalises its presence in India’s tech capital, the company’s rapid growth over the past six months continues to shape its culture. Founder and CEO Anjali Sardana said the journey from a single Gurgaon hub to a three-city operation has reinforced the team’s early conviction.
“We went from five people in a Gurgaon hub to serving thousands of bookings daily across three cities, yet every new booking still reminds us why we started,” she said.
On Friday morning, when Pronto received its first Bengaluru booking, Sardana said the feeling was strikingly similar to the company’s earliest days, a reminder of how quickly the platform’s demand has grown and how much further it intends to go.
Sardana added that the company sees itself at the very beginning of its journey, saying the next several years will shape Pronto’s long-term identity and scale.
A Crowded, Fast-Evolving Market
The quick-services segment has drawn attention from larger home-services players and newer startups alike. Pronto’s competitors include Urban Company’s Insta Help, Snabbit and a growing crop of hyperlocal service platforms that are adopting tech-heavy models for faster delivery and standardised quality.
Many of these companies, including some that originated in Delhi NCR and Mumbai, have moved leadership and tech teams to Bengaluru this year to tap into the city’s talent pool and investor ecosystem. Pronto’s relocation fits into the same pattern, driven by the need for rapid product iteration and stronger engineering bandwidth.
Two Cities, One Roadmap
Even with the HQ shift, Gurugram remains central to Pronto’s operations. The company’s customer-support teams and parts of its on-ground operations will continue to run out of the region, allowing it to retain a strong foothold in NCR, one of its largest markets.
By dividing strategic and operational functions across Bengaluru and Gurugram, Pronto aims to balance product innovation with ground-level execution as it prepares for scale.
With new capital, a deeper talent base and expansion into multiple metros, Pronto is positioning itself as a tech-forward player in a market where speed and reliability increasingly determine user choice.
For now, the company’s bet on Bengaluru signals where it expects the next phase of India’s home-services evolution to be shaped and where Pronto wants to be as that shift unfolds.
