Swiggy raises 210 mn USD from Naspers, DST

It is currently operational in cities like New Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. This seventh round of funding received by Swiggy will also see the participation of its existing shareholder Meituan-Dianping, and a new investor Coatue Management, the company said. 

DST Global is also a new investor in the firm. “The latest round of funding will enable Swiggy to ramp up its supply chain network and expand to new markets, while investing in capabilities that enhance consumer experience,” the Bengaluru-based Swiggy said. This latest investment follows a $100 million Series F (sixth round) investment in February this year, also led by Naspers along with Meituan-Dianping. 

With the funding, Swiggy aims to strengthen its technology for operations and connected supply chain systems. 

“With this investment, we will continue to widen Swiggy’s offerings, along with increasing our capabilities and plugging the gaps in the on-demand delivery ecosystem,” said the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sriharsha Majety. So far, Swiggy has raised over $460 million, after $100 million investment in February and about $80 million in May 2017.
