Snabbit, another electrifying startup founded in 2022, is shaking up the home services market in India. It’s never been easier for customers to book your most essential services—with just a few clicks at lightning speed! The startup provides a unique stack of ultra-high-frequency home services, from home cleaning to dishwashing to laundry to meal prep. Snabbit’s cutting-edge consumer app is changing the face of the delivery industry. Now, customers can get serviced in under ten minutes on average, disrupting an industry that has historically depended on informal and offline processes.
The importance of what Snabbit is providing comes not just from its rapidity but its relative cheapness. The startup charges for rides lasting up to 240 minutes. Users pay between ₹169 (just over $2) and ₹499 (almost $6) for these consultations. This new pricing model continues to focus on the masses, bringing home services within reach of more people than ever before!
Snabbit itself is a startup founded just last year. It’s a part of the growing trend in India’s booming service industry that emphasizes convenience, efficiency and increasingly, personalization. Aayush Agarwal, founder of another startup EnFuse, echoed his sentiments about the current market. As more recent entrants come onto the scene and raise their funds, he said, “The category is getting fun. And I think all of it is amazing stuff for us, so long as we just continue to execute like crazy.
The competitive landscape is intensifying. What Snabbit does differently is run a decidedly unsexy operation, turning a popular gig economy into a structured and trustworthy industry. Rahul Taneja, a spokesperson for Snabbit, told us that the company is excited to roll out its mission.
“Snabbit is transforming home services in India by bringing speed, structure, and trust to a sector that has largely operated informally until now.” – Rahul Taneja
The opportunity to expand this sector is huge. Historically, home services in India have been highly unstandardized and inaccessible. As a result, customers were forced to depend on word-of-mouth connections to receive assistance. We believe Snabbit’s approach brings a significant new digital experience that makes it easier than ever for consumers to access food donation.
The startup’s lightning fast booking technology is the solution to one of the biggest user pain points. In a world where convenience is paramount, the ability to book household help at the touch of a button aligns with modern consumer expectations. Aayush Agarwal fleshed this out with the poignant comment that, “In a world of convenience, where you can push a button and get a cab or food delivered, getting someone to do a basic service at home is so difficult.”
As cool as Snabbit’s success is, it does so in an ever more competitive space. Most recently, for example, fellow service industry-as-a-startup Zepto has crossed over 100k orders a day. This trend exemplifies the increasing demand for on-demand services across India.
That idea is being put to the test by a new startup, barely 15 months old, that has opened a quick-service platform in Mumbai. Plus, it’s been successfully onboarded to over 25,000 customers already! From this competitor, we’ve learned that the average customer is performing a minimum of three transactions on the platform per month. That’s an incredibly powerful indication of demand for what they provide. This new startup has partnered with Yulu to provide training for their women employees. They will be using e-bikes to expand their service offerings and increase their social impact.
In this rapidly shifting landscape, speed and reliability should always be Snabbit’s number one priority to keep with the growing competition and ensure its continued popularity. The company’s tech-enabled app and technology-driven standardized service solutions are leading the charge in establishing a new paradigm for home services in India.
As the market develops, Snabbit hopes to be able to grow its operations by orders of magnitude. The startup says that it aims to spread its presence into more than 200 such micro markets across various metro cities in the next nine months. First, it is very well positioned to take advantage of the significant trend toward digital service solutions.
“We are excited to join them on this journey and support their mission to transform and scale what was once considered a luxury into a day-to-day necessity.” – Rahul Taneja
