Zomato Sees Rs 5,438.50 Crore Block Deal as Antfin Singapore Likely Sells Stake

Felix Baumgartner actually 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 in the longest freefall of all time comes to my mind first.
Apparently, RedBull spent $𝟯𝟬𝗠 𝗨𝗦𝗗 for the event and in return made upwards of $𝟱𝟬𝟬𝗠++

What similar example comes to your mind?

What’s the craziest marketing stunt you’ve ever heard of?

Product Manager

There's CCD (now falling). Starbucks toh hai hi. There's Blue Tokai and Third Wave (backed by capital). Recently Nexus funded abCoffee with $3.4Mn. 

How many coffee startups are gonna get funded? I think they're just seeing this as safe offline dhandha bets, nothing to lose, will likely open more stores and sell to the next buyer (PE or acquisition)

Following the funding, Subko's valuation has increased to $34 million. The startup said the newly raised capital will be utilised to strengthen the talent pool, develop tech-enabled customer experiences, conduct research and development for product design, among others.

Specialty coffee startup Subko secures $10 million in funding led by Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath

Love Subko and great to see them raise $10Mn! But what's with so many investments in this space?

In a landmark deal, Silicon Valley powerhouse General Catalyst has acquired Venture Highway, a seed-stage investment firm with a track record of backing winners like Meesho and Mobile Premier League.

The Deal:
- Rare instance of consolidation in the Indian VC market
- VH to be rebranded as General Catalyst India
- GC plans to invest $500 million to $1 billion in India over the next three years
- Acquisition driven by desire to build strong local team and tap into local LP network

But the move also raises important questions. Will this trigger a wave of consolidation in the Indian VC market? Will other global firms follow suit and snap up local players to gain a foothold in the country? And how will this influx of foreign capital shape the trajectory of India's startup ecosystem?

As the dust settles on this landmark deal, one thing is clear: India's startup scene is entering a new era, one where local innovation and global capital are increasingly intertwined.  Always long on India 🇮🇳

General Catalyst's Venture Highway Acquisition: A Strategic Play for India 🇮🇳

Zomato is eyeing a new dish: Paytm's ticketing business. The potential Rs 1,500 crore acquisition is a bold move by Zomato to diversify beyond its core food delivery domain.

The Strategy:
- Bolster "going-out" vertical (event bookings, dining) to offset slowing food delivery growth
- Leverage Paytm's established ticketing platforms to expand the segment
- Capitalize on strong revenue growth in Zomato's current going-out business

For Paytm, the sale is a strategic slice. Faced with regulatory hurdles, the company is refocusing on its payments and lending operations. The deal would allow Paytm to streamline its portfolio and double down on its core strengths.

The acquisition underscores the shifting strategies of India's tech titans as they navigate a fiercely competitive landscape. With growth slowing in traditional segments, companies like Zomato are hunting for new avenues to keep the revenue engine humming.

Another Blinkit story in the making? 🚀
