Pronto pilots opt-in home camera recordings to feed investors' Physical AI training data ambitions

The 2025-founded Indian household services startup, backed by $60M from Glade Brook and a $20M Lachy Groom round at a $200M valuation, is using its 25,000 orders/day footprint across top 10 cities to capture household task footage for robotics labs like Physical Intelligence. A 48-hour deletion policy is cited, but DPDP Act consent and purpose-limitation questions loom.

What happened

Pronto, an Indian household services startup founded in 2025, is piloting opt-in camera recordings to generate real-world household training data for Physical

Key facts

  • $60 million raised
  • $20 million Lachy Groom round
  • $200 million valuation
  • 25,000 orders/day
  • 48-hour deletion
  • top 10 cities

Why this matters

Robotics buyers (Physical Intelligence, frontier labs, OEMs) should track Pronto as a scarce source of in-home task video, but any data-supply or M&A overture has to be structured around purpose-limitation and consent provenance under the DPDP Act.
