Info Edge has committed Rs 250 crore to a deeptech-focused investment fund, reinforcing its strategy to back emerging technology startups in India. The move highlights the company’s increasing focus on AI, deeptech, and innovation-led ventures, as the ecosystem sees rising investor interest in advanced technologies.
Strengthening presence in early and growth-stage investments
The capital commitment will enable Info Edge to participate in high-potential deeptech startups, supporting innovation across sectors such as artificial intelligence, enterprise tech, and next-generation platforms. The company has historically backed category-defining startups and continues to expand its footprint in venture investing.
Partial exit from ShopKirana signals portfolio reshuffle
Alongside the new investment commitment, Info Edge has sold its stake in ShopKirana, as part of a portfolio rationalisation strategy. The exit reflects a broader approach of reallocating capital towards high-growth and future-facing sectors, particularly deeptech and AI-driven businesses.
Continued focus on long-term value creation
Info Edge is known for its early bets in companies such as Zomato and Policybazaar, and the latest move aligns with its strategy of backing scalable, technology-led businesses. By doubling down on deeptech, the company aims to position itself for long-term value creation in emerging sectors.
Riding momentum in India’s deeptech ecosystem
The investment comes at a time when India’s deeptech ecosystem is gaining traction, driven by policy support, talent availability, and global demand for innovation. With this commitment, Info Edge is looking to capture opportunities in the next wave of startup growth.
