Info Edge shares, on Tuesday, surged 5 per cent to Rs 5,250 in intra-day deals on the BSE after food delivery giant Zomato raised another $250 million in primary fundraise from existing and new investors. Info Edge, the nation’s leading job-hunting platform, also has investments in at least 23 startups, including Zomato.
In a stock exchange filing, Info Edge said that the latest transaction has taken the post-money valuation of Zomato to $5.4 billion. This is an increase from its previous valuation of $3.9 billion in December last year when it closed a $660 million primary financing round.
“On a fully converted and diluted basis, Info Edge’s effective stake in Zomato stands at 18.4 per cent,” Info Edge said in the stock exchange filing.
