The startup has successfully raised Rs. 8.5k crore through Qualified Institutional Placement(QIP). This initiative is a major success since it’s Initial Public offering (IPO) in 2021. The startup issued 33.65 crore shares at a price of Rs 252.62 per share. This represents a 5% discount from the floor price. The QIP was opened on November 25th and closed on November 28th, 2024. This saw a significant interest from domestic mutual funds. This heavy amount will help Zomato to strengthen the balance sheet and will also help in expansion plans. The startup can also use this amount to improve the quick commerce and food delivery sectors. A substantial portion of the proceeds, Rs 2,137 crore, has been earmarked for the expansion of Blinkit. This investment will focus on enhancing dark store operations, warehouses, and supply chain infrastructure. To add on, the investment is going to effectively cater to the increasing demand for hyperlocal deliveries.
