New Delhi :  Online restaurant guide and food ordering firm Zomato has raised $60 million (over Rs 400 crore) in a fresh round of funding led by Singapore investment company Temasek along with participation from existing investor Vy Capital.

The company will use the investment to expand new business verticals, Zomato said in a statement.

Zomato Founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal said: “We will use this round to make investments in our new businesses such as online ordering, table reservations, point of sales, and our newly launched Whitelabel platform.”

With this round, and with some of our markets turning profitable recently, Zomato is well capitalised for at least two years, he added. This takes Zomato’s total funding to USD 225 million from four investors – Info Edge, Sequoia India, Vy Capital and now Temasek. Founded in 2008, Zomato employs over 3000 people across 22 countries.
