Summary
700 daily Verified orders are now running in Bengaluru after Pronto launched the opt-in camera-recorded home service last week, up from 15 a day two weeks earlier.
130 head-mounted devices are currently deployed across Bengaluru and the National Capital Region, with 1,300 planned by August to expand footage collection for robotics AI training.
Pronto says anonymized, GPU-processed video will be collected, annotated and sold in-house rather than through third parties; founder Anjali Sardana expects margins to settle at 50%-60%.
Over five years, the startup expects the data business to generate about 90% of revenue, even as privacy concerns persist and rivals Urban Company and Snabbit say they will not record inside homes.
Workers must opt in too, receiving three days of training and higher pay—2x for a one-hour Verified booking and up to 3x for two hours—while customers can switch back to non-Verified service.
