Zomato's Likely Investment Of $100-120 Million In Grofers At A Billion-Dollar Valuation Enters Last Leg: Report

Set for an initial public offering (IPO), Gurugram-based online food delivery major Zomato's plans to invest in online grocery delivery platform Grofers is said to have entered the last step, and an announcement is likely to be made in the next few weeks, reports MoneyControl.

Zomato may likely pump in $100-120 million into Grofers at a billion-dollar valuation. That would make it another entrant into the country's burgeoning unicorn club.

It should be noted that Kumar and his co-founder Albinder Dhindsa together own less than eight per cent of Grofers. Softbank owns the majority of the shares in the company; other investors in the company include Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital, and DST Global. Sequoia is also an early investor in Zomato.
