Recently launched food delivery service launched by ride sharing giant Uber, UberEats, finds itself in a bidding war with Zomato, established food delivery and reviews app to potentially acquire Runnr, a food delivery startup.

Runnr was formed after the merger of hyperlocal-logistics RoadRunnr and food-delivery venture TinyOwl. Runnr, while in the midst of discussions to raise 6-10 million funding with financial investors, is being propositioned at a value of $ 50 Million by UberEats, while Zomato has pegged its value at $ 30 Million. It has previously raised 47 crores from existing investors Nexus Venture Partners and Blume Ventures in September 2016.

Food startups in India are facing a tough competition with each other with an increase in a number of food delivery apps. Zomato works with third party delivery partners to fulfill deliveries while UberEats is seamlessly integrated with the Uber ride app. Acquisition of Runnr will only strengthen their services.

Zomato, Uber, and Runner are yet to confirm or deny these allegations.

Dunzo Gets Breather as NCLT Rejects Insolvency Petition from Invoice Discounters

Published

Dunzo

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Bengaluru bench has dismissed an insolvency plea filed against quick commerce startup Dunzo by its invoice discounters, declaring the petition “not maintainable” after several postponements. This decision offers temporary relief to Dunzo, which has been facing multiple insolvency petitions from various creditors, including Velvin Packaging Solutions and Betterplace Safety Solutions, over unpaid dues.

The invoice discounters alleged that Dunzo had paid only 50% of the required amounts, though the exact sum was not disclosed. Despite ongoing settlement talks, no resolution was reached, and the tribunal noted Dunzo’s delays in responding to creditor petitions. Dunzo continues to grapple with severe liquidity issues, delayed payments, and significant losses—reporting a ₹1,801.8 crore loss in FY23 and owing approximately ₹11.4 crore to major vendors like Google India and Facebook India.

While this NCLT ruling provides Dunzo some breathing room, the company still faces ongoing financial and operational challenges as it works to resolve its outstanding liabilities.
