Indian food delivery startup Zomato files for an IPO

Indian food delivery startup Zomato on Wednesday filed for an initial public offering, becoming the first tech unicorn startup from the world’s second largest internet market to do so.

The 12-year-old Gurgaon-headquartered Indian startup, which counts Info Edge and Ant Group among its investors, plans to raise $1.1 billion from the IPO, it said in the filing.

Some key insights shared by Zomato in the filling:

    • Zomato has claimed market leading position in the food delivery market.
    • The startup identified Prosus Ventures-backed Swiggy (which is in talks to raise capital from SoftBank Vision Fund 2), as well as restraunts such as Domino’s, McDonald’s and Pizza hut as its competitor. (But not Amazon, which entered the food delivery market last year.)
    • The startup clocked $183.6 million in revenue between April 1 and December 31. Its losses during this period were $91.8 million.
    • The startup said it has a history of net losses, and it anticipates increases expenses in the future.
    • Info Edge, one of the biggest investor of Zomato, plans to sell stake worth $100 million, the investment firm said in a filing.
    • Zomato has identified “changing regulation in India,” ability to raise foreign capital, and “political changes” among over a dozen risk factors.
    • The startup, which employs 3,469 people across the globe as of December 31, plans to grow its Zomato Pro membership offering, which allows customers to avail additional benefits, deepen its relationship with restaurant partners in the foreseeable future.
    • Zomato says by third quarter last year, going by the metric GOV (gross order value), the startup had recovered from the Covid crisis. But some of its business lines including dining-out business is “still recovering as customers continue to be reluctant to dine-out as a precautionary measure.”
    • As of December 2020, the startup had 161,637 active delivery partners, 350,174 active restaurant listings on the platform, of which 132,769 restaurants were also those who actively delivered to customers.
    • Zomato’s advertising and sales promotion expenses as percent of its total income:
    • Zomato says it has improved the unit economics of food delivery business in recent years.

This is a developing story. More to follow…

Uber co-founder Garrett Camp steps back from board director role

Uber co-founder Garrett Camp is relinquishing his role as a board director and switching to board observer — where he says he’ll focus on product strategy for the ride hailing giant. Camp made the announcement in a short Medium post in which he writes of his decade at Uber: “I’ve learned a lot, and realized that I’m most helpful when focused on product strategy & design, and this is where I’d like to focus going forward.” “I will continue to work with Dara [Khosrowshahi, Uber CEO] and the product and technology leadership teams to brainstorm new ideas, iterate on plans and designs, and continue to innovate at scale,” he adds. “We have a strong and diverse team in place, and I’m confident everyone will navigate well during these turbulent times.” The Canadian billionaire entrepreneur signs off by saying he’s looking forward to helping Uber “brainstorm the next big idea”. Camp hasn’t been short of ideas over his career in tech. He’s the co-founder of the web 2.0 recommendatio

Drone crash near kids leads Swiss Post and Matternet to suspend autonomous deliveries

A serious crash by a delivery drone in Switzerland have grounded the fleet and put a partnership on ice. Within a stone’s throw of a school, the incident raised grim possibilities for the possibilities of catastrophic failure of payload-bearing autonomous aerial vehicles. The drones were operated by Matternet as part of a partnership with the Swiss Post (i.e. the postal service), which was using the craft to dispatch lab samples from one medical center for priority cases. As far as potential applications of drone delivery, it’s a home run — but twice now the craft have crashed, first with a soft landing and the second time a very hard one. The first incident, in January, was the result of a GPS hardware error; the drone entered a planned failback state and deployed its emergency parachute, falling slowly to the ground. Measures were taken to improve the GPS systems. The second failure in May, however, led to the drone attempting to deploy its parachute again, only to sever the line

ProtonMail logged IP address of French activist after order by Swiss authorities

ProtonMail , a hosted email service with a focus on end-to-end encrypted communications, has been facing criticism after a police report showed that French authorities managed to obtain the IP address of a French activist who was using the online service. The company has communicated widely about the incident, stating that it doesn’t log IP addresses by default and it only complies with local regulation — in that case Swiss law. While ProtonMail didn’t cooperate with French authorities, French police sent a request to Swiss police via Europol to force the company to obtain the IP address of one of its users. For the past year, a group of people have taken over a handful of commercial premises and apartments near Place Sainte Marthe in Paris. They want to fight against gentrification, real estate speculation, Airbnb and high-end restaurants. While it started as a local conflict, it quickly became a symbolic campaign. They attracted newspaper headlines when they started occupying prem
