No updates have been heard since the Swiggy spokes person declined to comment and Samsung has not responded.
Soon Swiggy updated that Naspers had led a $113 million funding round which was a part of a larger $150 million fundraise handled by the company with the South African investor alone putting in about $100 million. Samsung Venture Investment Corporation’s investment in Swiggy will be at the same valuation at about $3.6 billion. Naspers holds about 40.6% stake in Swiggy, while Meituan owns 6.35% of the company.
SVIC has also co-led a Rs.100 crore plus financing round in Stelling Technologies which owns and operates inter-city transportation startup IntrCity by RailYatri along with Nandan Nilekani. IntrCity by RailYatri’s other existing investors, Omidyar Network and early-stage venture capital firm Blume Ventures have also participated in the latest financing round. The 9 year old company has made about $30 million and will use it to upgrade its IntrCity SmartBus network and face-lift its technology platform.
“We intend to expand our SmartBus fleet to 300 from the current 84 in the next few months and are on track for a managed fleet of 2,000 by 2022,”said Manish Rathi the chief executive of IntrCity by RailYatri . Samsung Venture Investment Corporation made its debut deal in India when it announced an $8.5 million investment amongst 4 startups last year.
