    E-Commerce Startup, Udaan Raises $280 Million From Tencent, Others

    Indian business-to-business e-commerce startup Udaan has raised US$280 million, it said Wednesday, as it seeks to serve more mom-and-pop businesses that are buying products online in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Udaan said existing investors including Chinese tech giant Tencent, Lightspeed Venture Partners, DST Global, GGV Capital and Altimeter Capital participated in the fundraising, along with new investors - Octahedron Capital and Moonstone Capital.

    The Bengaluru-based firm, founded in 2016, is now valued at more than US$3 billion, a person familiar with the matter said.

    A representative for Udaan declined to comment on its valuation.

    "COVID-19 has accelerated the already fast digital-led evolution of highly fragmented and unorganized Indian trade/ retail industry," Udaan co-founder Amod Malviya said.

    Udaan, which offers everything from consumer goods to fruits and vegetables, has now raised US$1.15 billion to date, the company said.
