One of the people added that the round could be around $55 million or higher, as strong investor demand may prompt the company to raise more than initially planned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The round is expected to include participation from Mirae Asset, FJ Labs, and existing investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners and Bertelsmann India Investments, the people told TechCrunch. It would mark a significant jump from the <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/29\/indias-snabbit-valuation-doubled-to-180m-in-5-months-on-its-quick-house-help-bet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$180 million valuation<\/a> at which Snabbit raised $30 million in October 2025. The deal could be announced as early as next week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 2024, Snabbit connects households with on-demand domestic help for cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, and other chores, offering quick turnaround times through a managed network of workers. Before this round, the startup had raised $55 million in total funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fundraise comes amid growing investor interest in instant house help startups in India. Rival Pronto is finalizing a funding round led by tech investor Lachy Groom at about a <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/04\/24\/lachy-groom-to-back-pronto-as-indias-house-help-startup-scales-fast-sources-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$200 million valuation<\/a>. Urban Company, a top player in this space, said its instant home services offering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/companies\/urban-company-s-quick-home-services-vertical-instahelp-crosses-1-million-monthly-bookings-in-march-13873372.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">crossed one million bookings<\/a> in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rising demand is partly driven by India\u2019s young, urban workforce, which has grown accustomed to ordering services such as groceries on demand through apps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snabbit founder and CEO Aayush Agarwal said in a recent LinkedIn post that the company had completed more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/aayushagarwal2111_1m-jobs-this-month-with-3-days-to-go-from-share-7443892177736278016-uwAV?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAAxqocoBWUARXlzyMlyAQ8Pd7a-4qGgP5zE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">one million jobs<\/a> in March alone.
