Byondnxt, which operates the kitchen appliances brand Beyond Appliances, has secured additional funding from a group of new investors. Zomato, which recently acquired an 8% stake in the Bengaluru-based startup, did not participate in this latest funding round. In a stock exchange filing on Sunday, Zomato said that the fundraising was completed on November 30, and the Deepinder Goyal-led companyโs shareholding in Byondnxt reduced to 6% on a fully diluted basis. In October, Zomato acquired an 8% stake in Byondnxt for about Rs 6,000. Byondnxt, founded by Eshwar Vikas, who also founded Mukunda Foods, is a direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand specializing in the design and manufacturing of kitchen appliances. In March 2022, Zomato invested $5 million to acquire a 16.66% stake in Mukunda Foods, a company that supplies smart kitchen equipment to business-to-business (B2B) clients. Rakesh Patil is the other co-founder and chief technology officer (CTO) of Beyond Appliances. This is the second funding round for a Zomato-backed company in the past three months. In September, adtech startup AdOnMo raised $25 million in a funding round led by the Singapore-based venture capital (VC) firm Rigel Capital and Indonesia-based Sinar Mas. Meanwhile, Zomato chief Goyal also incorporated a new venture named Continue, which will focus on health tracking and mental wellness. Zomato Limited recently raised Rs 8,500 crore (around $1 billion) through a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) of equity shares.
