Strengthening Zomato’s financial position to support business expansion and strategic initiatives—particularly in the rapid commerce segment through Blinkit—was the main goal of that financing effort.

One of the leading quick commerce Companies in India, Blinkit recently ventured into food delivery with Bistro, a platform promising 10-minute food deliveries that the company aims to expand. Bistro enters a competitive market alongside Swiggy’s Snacc and Zepto Cafe, both of which are also scaling their operations.
