Around 2008 to 2010, Info Edge was valued at a $1 Billion. Around the same time, Info edge Invested $3M in policy bazaar and $1M in zomato They continued to back them at every stage, today Info Edge is roughly valued at $8 Billion. But their investment today: 1. Policy bazaar is valued at $7 billion 2. Zomato is valued at around $16 billion (2x of info edge) Info Edge holds 15% in zomato & 13% in Policybazaar. Info edge, stayed invested in Policybazaar and Zomato for 15+ years - an investment fund would never hold this long :) The impact by Sanjeev Bikhchandani and team is surreal. But it also teaches a lesson to build your cash reserves and invest in businesses out of your positive cash flow irrespective of the size of your business. We can't build a once in a generation company by just thinking for 5/10 years - it has to go beyond that. It's a definite risk, most of them won't do well but you'll find that one company that could secure your future.
