With a capital commitment of Rs 250 crore, Info Edge has introduced a new growth-stage investment fund, its first vehicle specifically designed for later-stage businesses. In order to increase the overall corpus beyond the initial Rs 250 crore, the new vehicle, known as B8 Fund-I, may also solicit money from outside sponsors.

Key Highlights

• Info Edge launches a ₹250 crore growth-stage fund to support scaling Indian startups across high-potential sectors.
• The new fund aims to boost innovation, expansion, and long-term value creation in India’s startup ecosystem.

Four early-stage investment platforms are now run by Info Edge. These include Redstart Labs, which focuses on AI-led businesses; Capital 2B, which has a corpus of Rs 280 crore; Info Edge Ventures, which has raised Rs 2,300 crore through three funds; and direct investments from its balance sheet.

Info Edge has provided early-stage funding to a number of firms through its venture vehicles, including Gnani AI, Ixigo, Shiprocket, Zingbus, and Truemeds. The corporation has made early investments in companies like Zomato and Policybazaar through its financial sheet.

The company stated in a regulatory filing that the new Rs 250-crore fund will support tech-enabled, growth-stage Indian enterprises or those with a primary focus on India. The vehicle, which is registered with Sebi as a Category II alternative investment fund, will run for eight years after its initial close.

As part of its ambition to institutionalize its startup investing platform, Info Edge announced in May of last year that its shareholders had accepted a plan to invest up to Rs 1,000 crore in Info Edge Ventures' third fund.

Temasek, a sovereign wealth fund in Singapore, manages the Info Edge Ventures funds in a 50:50 collaboration.

While Info Edge's net profit improved 10% year over year to Rs 317 crore from Rs 288 crore, the company's operating revenue jumped to Rs 819 crore for the quarter that ended on December 31.
