Anjali Sardana has launched Provision Labs, a US-based startup building infrastructure for physical AI. The company has backing from several prominent investors. It will support AI systems that perform tasks in real-world environments.
Backers and headquarters
Backers include Lachy Groom, General Catalyst, Bain Capital Ventures, and Glade Brook Capital. The company is headquartered in San Francisco. No funding amount has been disclosed.
Founder's role
Sardana founded Pronto, a platform connecting households with service professionals for cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation. She continues to serve as Pronto's CEO while leading Provision Labs as founder and chief executive officer. The new venture moves her from consumer services into AI infrastructure.
Platform purpose
Provision Labs will develop technology for data, evaluation, and deployment of physical AI systems. Its goal is to provide infrastructure that helps AI interact with objects and operate in real-world settings. The startup does not provide household services directly.
Sardana now leads two businesses in different sectors. Provision Labs is separate from Pronto's consumer-focused service model. It focuses on underlying technology for physical AI.
