Snabbit, a quick home services startup, has raised $56 million in a Series D funding round. This investment underscores the rapid growth in the category aimed at bringing India’s largely informal domestic help ecosystem onto an app-driven, on-demand model.
The funding round was co-led by Susquehanna Venture Capital, Mirae Asset Venture Investments, and Bertelsmann India Investments, with participation from Nexus Venture Partners and Lightspeed. This latest round comes just six months after Snabbit’s previous funding, bringing the total capital raised to $112 million.
This fresh capital injection highlights the increasing investor confidence in instant home services, a segment that combines India’s gig economy, urban convenience, and the formalization of domestic work.
The home services market in India, which includes domestic help, cleaning, cooking, and maintenance, is estimated to be over $60 billion. However, it remains highly fragmented and informal, with less than 5% of services currently delivered through organized digital platforms, according to company estimates.
Snabbit aims to change this by mirroring the strategies used in food delivery and ride-hailing: aggregating supply, standardizing service quality, and reducing wait times. Unlike those sectors, home services require deeper trust, repeat usage, and tighter hyperlocal execution.
Snabbit’s strategy involves building density block by block, focusing on micro-markets rather than rapid geographic expansion. The company reports that this approach results in higher worker utilization, lower customer acquisition costs, and stronger repeat behavior.
The platform currently processes over 40,000 jobs daily across five cities, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi-NCR, and it surpassed one million monthly jobs in March 2026.
Driving this shift is a change in behavior among urban households. Traditionally, domestic workers in India are hired through informal networks, word of mouth, or local agencies, leading to inconsistent availability and variable quality.
Instant service platforms like Snabbit aim to provide on-demand booking, standardized pricing, background-verified workers, and platform-managed reliability and replacements.
This model is particularly appealing to dual-income households and younger urban consumers who value convenience. The category is also expanding beyond cleaning to include home cooks, elderly care, and recurring household tasks.
Snabbit’s network includes over 15,000 service professionals, all of whom are women. The company has incorporated safety features such as real-time tracking and emergency support into its platform to address worker trust and retention.
Investors view home services as a daily use case similar to food delivery, but with potentially higher retention due to recurring needs. Snabbit’s focus is on frequency and density, with its most mature micro-markets handling over 1,500 jobs per day.
The company reports that burn per order has decreased by 50% over the past six months, indicating improving unit economics in a sector where logistics and labor costs can significantly impact margins.
