Indian instant house-help startup, Pronto, is set to receive a funding round led by tech investor Lachy Groom at a valuation of $200 million. The deal is expected to bring in around $20 million in fresh capital and mark a significant increase from the $100 million valuation achieved in a Series B round in March. Pronto connects households with on-demand domestic help for services such as cleaning and chores. The company completed about 500,000 orders last month and is currently handling around 24,000-25,000 daily bookings.
