Snabbit, the on-demand home services startup, has claimed a new milestone by completing 1.51 million orders in June, surpassing the monthly order volumes of Urban Company’s Insta Help and Pronto. The achievement highlights the rapid growth of India’s emerging instant home services market, where startups are aggressively expanding operations to capture urban demand for quick, app-based household assistance.
The company said the June performance makes it the largest player in the segment by monthly orders, underscoring intensifying competition as platforms invest heavily in expansion, customer acquisition, and service partner networks.

The figures place Snabbit marginally ahead in monthly order volume, though differences in average order values make direct revenue comparisons difficult.
