Swiggy is all set for its IPO in November! Exciting times ahead as Swiggy, one of India's top food delivery platforms, gears up to go public! The company, valued at $9.3 billion as of August 2023, is reportedly looking to raise ₹11,000 crore through this IPO, with a fresh issue of ₹5,000 crore. Backed by big names like Prosus, SoftBank, and Accel, Swiggy is taking the confidential pre-filing route, keeping the details under wraps for now. Interestingly, high-profile investors like Amitabh Bachchan and Raamdeo Agrawal have already bought stakes in Swiggy. If things go as planned, Swiggy will be the second food delivery firm to list after Zomato! With such strong backing and a robust business model, this IPO is sure to draw attention from retail and institutional investors alike. Keep an eye on the market as Swiggy makes its way to the stock exchanges! #SwiggyIPO #FoodDelivery #Investing #StartupSuccess #StockMarket #IPO #TechStartups

From offering discounts to customers To offer QIP to poach investors The battle between Swiggy and Zomato has intensified on the cusp of Swiggy's #IPO. Zomato, profitable and plush with cash of almost $1.5 bn, is raising another $1 bn from #QIP. Why so? Some thoughts: 1. Capture the momentum in the hot market of #quickcommerce doubling down on Blinkit story 2. Build a war chest of $2.5 bn to battle against Zepto - raised $ 1 bn already and Swiggy - raising ~ $1.2 bn 3. Crowd out Swiggy and create an option for anchor investors and showcase its capabilities as a leader not only in #fooddelivery but also in fund delivery 4. Rationalise the shareholding in favour of domestic shareholders to support the business model changes in quick commerce The timing of this move is very interesting and I will be curious to see a list of investors who will bet on both these players in QIP and IPO. #startups #founders #funding #fundraising #competition #strategy #commerce #platform #internet #digital #technology #venturecapital #vc #pe

🚀 Zomato’s Strategic Fundraising vs. Swiggy’s IPO: What It Means for Quick-Commerce I've been intrigued by the recent fundraising activities of Zomato and Swiggy. In my view, Zomato's decision to raise over $100 million through Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) ahead of Swiggy's anticipated $800 million+ IPO is a shrewd strategic move. Both companies are clearly positioning themselves for dominance in the rapidly expanding quick-commerce market. 💡 In my analysis, Swiggy will likely use its IPO funds to expand its delivery network, scale up customer acquisition efforts, and enhance its technology for better user experience. On the other hand, I expect Zomato to focus its new capital on bolstering its quick-commerce arm - speeding up deliveries, expanding geographically, and boosting operational efficiency. 🧠 What impresses me most about Zomato's strategy is its timing. By raising funds now, they're ensuring they have the resources to potentially outpace Swiggy and other competitors in the fast-delivery space. I see this as a preemptive strike that could give them a significant edge, allowing them to not only dominate food delivery but also make inroads into the broader e-commerce landscape 🛒. In my opinion, this forward-thinking approach demonstrates Zomato's commitment to staying ahead of the curve. It's a move that I believe positions them well for future success in this highly competitive market. A strategic play for the win! 🏆 What are your views? #ZomatoVsSwiggy #QuickCommerce #IPO #StrategicGrowth #FoodTech #Ecommerce #Startups #Fundraising #TechStrategy #Zomato #Swiggy
