In April, instant househelp startups including Urban Company, Snabbit, and Pronto achieved a remarkable milestone of over 3 million monthly bookings, indicating a significant shift in consumer behavior towards app-based domestic services. Urban Company maintained its leadership position with approximately 1.2-1.3 million orders, capturing nearly half of the market by transaction value. Despite this growth, the sector faces challenges such as supply bottlenecks and rising labor costs, prompting companies to increase prices in competitive micro-markets. Meanwhile, Agnikul Cosmos, a spacetech firm, is in discussions to secure $50-75 million in funding at a valuation of around $500 million, following the success of Skyroot Aerospace, which became India’s first spacetech unicorn. This funding is part of a broader trend, as Indian spacetech startups raised $196 million in 2025, more than double the previous year. Additionally, fintech companies like Paytm and PB Fintech are investing in AI to improve operational efficiency and drive revenue growth, with Paytm reporting a net profit of ₹552 crore in FY26.
