    The company is also closing a $140 million secondary round

  • Alongside the primary fundraise, Zomato is also closing a $140 million secondary financing round.

    As a part of this transaction, the company has already provided liquidity worth $30 million to its former employees for their contribution in building the brand.

    The current valuation of $3.9 billion makes Zomato the most-valued food tech unicorn in India, eclipsing arch-rival Swiggy, which is valued at $3.6 billion.

  • Official words

    'Likely to clock highest ever gross sale figures in December'

    'Likely to clock highest ever gross sale figures in December'
  • "Food delivery in India is rapidly coming out of COVID-19 shadows. December 2020 is expected to be the highest ever GMV month in our history. We are now clocking ~25% higher GMV than our previous peaks in February 2020," Goyal said.

    "The tailwinds for food delivery businesses are clearly visible, and we believe that the growth of the sector will accelerate post vaccine."
