IllustrationA physical AI company in the US called Provision Labs has been set up by Anjali Sardana, founder and CEO of Pronto, a startup offering household services. She is its CEO. The Economic Times first reported the development. Analytics India Magazine, Entrackr and Inc42 also covered it.
Provision Labs will collect real-world data to train and test AI systems for robots and similar machines. It will also partner with developers who build AI models. Its investors are Lachy Groom, Glade Brook, General Catalyst and Bain Capital Ventures. Analytics India Magazine first reported that funding, valuation and customers are not disclosed.
Pronto, founded in 2025, connects homes with trained, background-verified professionals for cleaning, laundry and meal preparation. Entrackr first reported that its Series B has been extended to $45 million, with $20 million from Lachy Groom, at a $200 million valuation. About $60 million has been raised to date.
Pronto Verified is an opt-in service that records sessions with wearable cameras, and anonymised footage is used for AI training. Pronto earlier faced scrutiny over a camera pilot. It said it was opt-in and covered under 0.01% of users. In a statement first reported by Inc42, Pronto said: "Pronto does not, by default, record in customers’ homes, nor does it use customer data." It is unclear whether Provision Labs will use Pronto's recordings. Neither company has confirmed a data-sharing agreement.
Why it matters
Pronto is an Indian startup, so Indian customers and service workers filmed at home could be affected. Consent, privacy and who gains from the data remain open questions.
