From 1,000 to 10,000 daily bookings in just five months, India’s hyperlocal house-help startup Snabbit is redefining convenience—and investors are taking notice.
A New Face of Urban Convenience
India’s instant delivery culture is expanding beyond food and groceries. The latest frontier? On-demand house help.
Snabbit, a Bengaluru-based startup offering rapid-response domestic services, has seen its valuation soar to $180 million—up from $80 million just five months ago—after securing a $30 million Series C funding round led by Bertelsmann India Investments. Existing backers Lightspeed, Elevation Capital, and Nexus Venture Partners also participated.
This brings Snabbit’s total raise to $55 million in under a year.
10X Growth in Daily Jobs
Founded in 2024, Snabbit has moved swiftly from beta to boom. In May, the platform handled around 1,000 bookings a day. That figure has now grown to over 10,000 daily jobs, with 300,000+ total orders fulfilled as of October.
The company’s fleet of 5,000 trained women workers serves households in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Noida, and Pune, with plans to enter Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi, and Calcutta soon.
“We’re plugging inefficiencies in the market—not just digitizing an offline service,” said founder and CEO Aayush Agarwal.
Instant Service, Hyperlocal Model
Snabbit differentiates itself with a hyperlocal operating model. Workers are positioned close to high-density residential areas, enabling 10-minute response times for services like cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, and kitchen prep.
Its micro-market focus allows the company to optimize routing, reducing worker travel distances from 300 meters to just 250 meters between jobs. This lets workers serve more homes per shift.
Snabbit charges around ₹150/hour (about $2), with an average order value of ₹240 (~$3). Workers typically earn between ₹25,000–₹30,000/month ($284–$340).
Who’s Using Snabbit?
The majority of users are urban professionals aged 30 to 40, including bachelors, couples, and dual-income households—groups less likely to hire full-time help but in need of flexible, ad hoc services.
The platform currently reports a 30% to 35% retention rate and expects to hit $11 million in annual recurring revenue by the end of this month. Remarkably, Snabbit has kept its customer acquisition cost below ₹500 (~$6).
Competing With Urban Company—One Block at a Time
While Urban Company popularized the home-services app model in India, Snabbit’s depth-over-breadth strategy is giving it an edge in certain geographies.
“You don’t win pan-India. You win micro-markets,” Agarwal explained. “Today, in the areas we overlap with Urban Company, Snabbit leads in more of them.”
The company is expanding its offerings into high-frequency categories such as cooking, childcare, and elder care, aiming to deepen usage within its active user base.
A Category on the Rise
Snabbit joins a growing wave of startups like Broomees and Pronto betting on the future of real-world convenience at internet speed. What once felt like a luxury is now just a few taps and 10 minutes away.
And investors are clearly bullish on the category.
