Bengaluru-based hyperlocal delivery platform Swiggy earlier this week raised $800 million in funding. According to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) filing by the company, the round was led by Falcon Edge, Amansa Capital, Think Investments, Carmignac, and Goldman Sachs.

While Swiggy refused to officially comment on the funding, a source confirmed the company’s valuation to be $5 billion post the funding. The round also saw participation from Singapore’s GIC and Qatar Investment Authority. Existing investors – Accel Partners and Prosus Ventures participated in this round of funding.

Swiggy was founded in 2014 by Sriharhsa Majety, Nandan Reddy, and Rahul Jaimini. It achieved the unicorn status in December 2017, and has over 1,30,000 delivery partners (the foodtech startup had 2,20,000 delivery partners before the pandemic). Rahul no longer plays an operational role at Swiggy.
