China’s Internet giant Tencent Holdings has invested $ 400 million in the cab aggregator startup Ola according to documents filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC.)

According to the RoC filings, Singapore based Copper Technology Pte., Ltd., owned and operated by Tencent, will take a 9.57 % stake in the company. ANI Technologies Pvt., Ltd., Ola’s parent company, issued the shares to Copper Technology at Rs.13,521 apiece by allocating 1,908,143 preferential shares.

This round of funding would value Ola at $ 4.1 billion, while recent media reports put the firm’s valuation at $ 3.8 billion. VCCircle reported, Ola has raised close to $ 800 million in funding since November last year, including a $ 250 million investment from Japanese major SoftBank. Including this round of funding, Ola has raised close to $ 1.93 billion to date.

The capital from Tencent will give a lot of firepower to Ola in its battle against Uber, which is also in talks to acquire a $10 billion investment from SoftBank. This investment by Tencent will also reduce SoftBank’s 22.5% stake in the company. The Chinese investment holding company has been looking to get a share in the lucrative Indian market. So far, it has already invested close to $ 900 million in multiple Indian startups, including Flipkart, Practo Technologies and Hike Messenger.

Ola, which has been raising funds at regular intervals for the past couple of months, is expected to continue its fundraising efforts to keep competition at bay. According to industry analysts, SoftBank may also push for a possible consolidation deal between Uber and Ola, despite the latter continuously raising funds. This funding round will be followed by an investment of $ 1 billion by SoftBank. However, the Japanese firm has set terms for Ola to receive the second part of the planned investment.

Both Ola and Tencent have not commented on this latest round of funding.

Phab Raises $2M Seed Funding to Expand Healthy Snacking Brand

Published

PHAB

Phab, the D2C healthy snacking brand co-founded by Ankit Chona of ice cream brand Hocco and his wife Gayatri Chona, has raised $2 million (around ₹17 crore) in a seed funding round led by OTP Ventures, with participation from Capri Global, Sim&San law firm, and angel investors.

Founded in 2018, phab offers protein bars and healthy milkshakes, leveraging Ankit’s decade-long food industry experience and Gayatri’s expertise as a certified nutritionist. The brand has sold over 2 million units and sells through e-commerce and quick commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Zepto, and Blinkit.

Despite a 12% dip in operating revenue to ₹5 crore in FY24, phab trimmed its net loss by nearly 3% to ₹6.8 crore, showing improved efficiency.

The new funds will be used to expand the team, invest in production capacity, and grow phab’s presence across digital, quick commerce, and offline channels. The brand competes with Yoga Bar, Beyond Snack, and The Whole Truth in India’s growing $68 billion healthy snacking market. OTP Ventures’ founding partner Suhail Sameer praised phab’s bold, differentiated approach and the founders’ vision, signaling strong investor confidence in the brand’s growth potential.

Led by industry veterans with expertise in fashion and logistics, Outzidr is poised to capitalize on India’s growing D2C market fueled by Gen Z’s demand for trendy and affordable fashion.
