Competitive Landscape
Based in Mumbai, Snabbit has raised over $25 million across three funding rounds, including $5.5 million in a Series A round led by Elevation and Nexus earlier this year, according to various startup data intelligence platforms.
Snabbit faces direct competition from industry leader Urban Company, which has recently submitted its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI for an initial public offer (IPO) worth Rs 1,900 crore. Urban Company has also ventured into quick commerce with the launch of a 15-minute maid booking service called “Insta Help.” Another competitor is Pronto, a startup offering a 10-minute house help service, which has raised $2 million from Bain Capital at a valuation of $12.5 million.
