Pronto Founder Anjali Sardana Launches Provision Labs, a US Physical AI Venture Focused on Real-World Data

Pronto raised the first tranche of its Series B at $25 million. In May 2026, it extended the round to $45 million with a further $20 million from Lachy Groom, at a valuation of $200 million, which doubled its valuation in about a month. The company has raised about $60 million to date. Forbes reported in July that Pronto handles 46,000 regular bookings a day, along with thousands of Pronto Verified orders.

Provision Labs arrives as Pronto expands its use of wearable cameras in customers' homes to collect data for AI training. In May 2026, Pronto launched Pronto Verified, an opt‑in service that records service sessions and uses anonymised footage for AI training. In July 2026, the company confirmed that it was continuing and widening the initiative.

According to Pronto, the professional carries a small camera that faces outward at the work, and customers receive the footage afterwards. Sardana told Forbes that customers consent to the recording and that workers are paid double for Pronto Verified bookings.

The programme drew criticism in India and government scrutiny over privacy concerns, according to Forbes. An internal memo from Glade Brook Capital, one of Pronto's investors, had earlier said the company was piloting real‑world training data with leading physical AI labs.

Provision Labs' focus on real‑world data collection could complement Pronto's effort by supporting the development and testing of AI systems for physical tasks. Whether Provision Labs will use data collected through Pronto has not been confirmed.

Physical AI refers to AI systems that perceive and act in the physical world, such as robots. Those systems depend on recordings of people performing everyday tasks, and the data is gathered in real settings such as homes and workplaces.

Provision Labs has not announced customers, a product or a launch timeline.
