"Info Edge (India), through its wholly owned subsidiary, has invested an amount of Rs. 1.55 billion (Rs. 155 crores) in Zomato, being Info Edge's proportionate share of Zomato's recent fund raise of $50 million," Info Edge said in a statement.
Upon completion of the allotment of shares, Info Edge's aggregate investment in Zomato will be about Rs. 484 crores.

Zomato has recently forayed into the US market by acquiring restaurant information and recommendation service provider Urbanspoon for an estimated $60 million in an all-cash deal.
The company has been aggressively expanding its global presence through inorganic route.
This was Zomato's sixth acquisition in the last six months, and the biggest one. It had recently acquired local restaurant search players in New Zealand, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Italy.
