Snabbit, the on-demand home services startup based in Mumbai, has secured $19 million in fresh funding as it eyes rapid expansion, stronger investor backing, and a greater impact on urban households seeking trained professionals for quick home assistance.

Lightspeed led the Series B round, which also saw continued participation from Elevation Capital and Nexus Venture Partners—reflecting strong investor confidence. This latest injection follows Snabbit’s $5.5 million Series A round just four months ago, underscoring how investor backing has accelerated its trajectory in the on-demand home services space.

The startup plans to deploy the capital to scale from 10 to over 200 micro-markets within the next nine months. According to founder Aayush Agarwal, this growth will focus on deepening hyperlocal reach and hiring more trained professionals to meet rising demand across urban households.

“While ride-hailing transformed mobility and e-commerce reshaped fashion, regular home services remained largely undigitised. With Snabbit, we’re solving for trust, quality, and speed — all at the tap of a button,” said Aayush Agarwal.

Trained Professionals, Delivered in Minutes

Founded in 2024 by Agarwal, a former chief of staff at Zepto, Snabbit promises swift help by connecting urban households with trained professionals for daily chores. Bookings, billed by the hour, enable customers to request cleaning, laundry, or dishwashing, with assistance arriving within 10–15 minutes—thanks to a hyperlocal, full-stack delivery model.

Agarwal noted that the company manages sourcing, training, and deployment of its workforce internally, ensuring quality and consistency. These trained professionals, primarily women from informal sectors, benefit from Aadhaar-linked bank accounts and insurance, enabling some to earn up to INR 40,000 a month—nearly double the earnings from traditional routes.

Snabbit is not alone in the race. While Urban Company remains the dominant force in this category, new startups are gaining ground. Pronto, for instance, recently raised $2 million from Bain Capital. Yet, Snabbit’s speed, hyperlocal model, and consistent investor backing give it a notable edge.

As Agarwal emphasized, Snabbit is not a niche platform. It’s an everyday utility for any urban household that values timely, trustworthy domestic assistance.

From 600 to Thousands: Workforce Set to Surge

Currently, over 600 trained professionals power the platform, and that number is doubling monthly. With new funding in place, Snabbit plans to grow this workforce aggressively. Internal systems verify identities through Idfy and enable rapid onboarding, ensuring the platform maintains both scale and security.

The company will also invest in strengthening its tech infrastructure and operations team to support the scale-up and improve the experience for both professionals and end-users.

“Snabbit is transforming home services in India by bringing speed, structure, and trust to a sector that has largely operated informally until now. Aayush and the team are building a platform for urban households. This completely new category will cater to the needs of millions,” said Rahul Taneja, partner at Lightspeed.
