Swiggy, an on-demand convenience, and food-tech platform, has entered the Decacorn club after raising $700 million in fresh funding led by Invesco Asset Management. Baron Capital Group, IIFL AMC Late Stage Tech Fund, Axis Growth Avenues AIF- I, Kotak, Sumeru Venture, Ghisallo, Smile Group, Sixteenth Street Capital, and Segantii Capital were among the new investors that participated in the round. The round also featured participation from existing investors Alpha Wave Global (formerly Falcon Edge Capital), ARK Impact, and Qatar Investment Authority, along with its long-term investor Prosus.

Moglix raises $250 million

Moglix, the B2B industrial goods marketplace, has secured $250 million in a Series F round of funding led by Tiger Global Management and Alpha Wave Global, alongside Hong Kong-based Ward Ferry joining as a new investor. The startup’s valuation has risen to $2.6 billion as a result of this investment. Moglix has become the first B2B commerce unicorn in the manufacturing sector in May 2021, raising $120 million. The company plans to use the fresh capital to aggressively focus on supply chain financing, hiring the right partners, and global expansion.
