This photograph taken on June 22, 2026 shows Aayush Agarwal (R), founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of the on-demand home-services platform Snabbit, speaking with employees at the company's office in Bengaluru. For decades, households in India have relied on an informal army of domestic workers hired through word of mouth to mop floors, wash dishes and cook meals. Now a growing crop of startups, such as Snabbit, Pronto and Urban Company, is attempting to bring structure to the largely unregulated sector that employs an estimated 30 million workers, most of them women.
