Rapido funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2026 | Undisclosed stage | Prosus Ventures (lead); WestBridge Capital; Accel | $240M | $3B | Prosus led a US$240 million primary and secondary financing in Rapido in May 2026, with participation from existing investors including WestBridge Capital and Accel. The transaction valued Rapido at a US$3 billion post-money basis and was described as part of a larger US$730 million round. Rapido previously carried a US$2.3 billion valuation in a secondary transaction the prior year. The capital is intended to support expansion into high-growth markets, increase the driver and captain network, and fund technology and platform efficiency improvements. The company is positioned as India’s largest and most affordable one-stop mobility platform, operating in the country’s ride-hailing and broader urban mobility market. Prosus increased its stake through a combination of primary and secondary investments, indicating continued backing from both new and existing shareholders. Rapido is an Indian mobility company founded in 2015 and operates as a ride-hailing platform. The company has raised approximately US$472 million in total funding across multiple rounds, with key backers including WestBridge Capital, Prosus Ventures, Nexus Venture Partners, Swiggy, TVS Motor Company, Shell Ventures, and Accel. The latest round was structured as a mix of primary and secondary capital, with the proceeds aimed at scaling operations, strengthening supply-side network density, and supporting product and technology investment. |
| Jan 2026 | Secondary | Prosus Ventures (lead) | - | $2.5B | Rapido operates a ride-hailing platform in India, offering bike taxis, autorickshaw rides, cab services, and food delivery, positioning it as a key competitor to Uber with 50 million monthly active users surpassing Uber India's 30 million. Prosus Ventures is in advanced talks to invest $200 million to increase its existing 3-4% stake, valuing Rapido at $2.5-2.7 billion, more than double its $1.1 billion valuation from December 2024. The investment may involve primary capital infusion, secondary share purchases, or both, coinciding with Swiggy's planned $300 million exit from its 12% stake. Rapido has demonstrated strong growth, crossing $2 billion in Gross Merchandise Value within a year. In FY24, operating revenue increased 1.5 times to ₹648.1 crore (approximately $81 million), while losses narrowed by over 45% to ₹370 crore. The company has raised over $500 million historically from investors including WestBridge Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, and others. Recent secondary transactions include Prosus acquiring stakes from Advantedge ($28 million partial exit) and Swiggy, doubling valuation to $2.3 billion by September 2025, with further stake boosts from TVS Motors in November 2025 involving Accel. Prosus held a 2.7% stake as of June 2025, with CCI approving additional acquisitions. |
| Sep 2025 | Secondary | Prosus Ventures (lead); Westbridge Capital (lead) | $272M | $2.3B | Rapido is a Bengaluru-based ride-hailing platform offering bike taxis, three-wheelers, and taxis, competing with Uber in India and recently expanding into food delivery via Ownly. In September 2025, Swiggy sold its approximately 12% stake for $270 million (₹24 billion), with Prosus acquiring 10% for $222 million (₹19.68 billion) and WestBridge Capital the remainder for $49 million (₹4.31 billion), valuing Rapido at $2.3 billion, more than double its prior $1.1 billion valuation.

| Jun 2025 | Series E | Nexus Venture Partners (lead) | $15M | - | Rapido is a ride-hailing company operating across India. The company has raised multiple funding rounds from Nexus Venture Partners, including a $15 million Series E round in June 2025 and a $30 million Series E round in February 2025, with a stated goal to expand services across India and reach 500 cities. The company has raised a total of $854.2 million across multiple funding rounds since its inception, though post-money valuations for individual rounds have not been publicly disclosed. Nexus Venture Partners, a venture capital firm managing $3.2 billion in capital across eight funds, counts Rapido among its portfolio alongside other notable investments including Delhivery, Zepto, and Postman. |
| Feb 2025 | Series E | Prosus Ventures (lead) | $30M | $1.1B | Rapido is a ride-hailing platform competing with Uber in India, founded in 2015. The company has diversified beyond two-wheeler rides into autorickshaw rides, cab services, and food delivery, significantly expanding its business footprint. By FY24 (ending March 2024), Rapido generated operating revenue of ₹648.1 crore, up 1.5 times from ₹443 crore in FY23, and cut losses by over 45% to ₹370 crore. The company reported 50 million monthly active users and $2 billion GMV as of the funding discussions. In February 2025, Rapido's board approved the issuance of Series E convertible cumulative preference shares to Prosus Ventures, with ongoing negotiations for Prosus to invest approximately $200 million at a valuation of $2.5–2.7 billion, more than double its $1.1 billion valuation from December 2024 (September 2024 according to one source). The investment could be structured as a primary capital infusion, secondary share acquisition from existing investors, or a combination. By November 2025, reports indicated Prosus was committing a total of around $350 million, with approximately $125 million as fresh capital for operational expansion and substantial secondary share purchases from existing shareholders. The transaction reflected growing investor confidence in Rapido's execution and market positioning. Prosus had initially held 3–4% of Rapido but substantially increased its stake through these transactions. In parallel, Swiggy divested its entire 12% stake in Rapido for ₹2,400 crore (approximately $270 million) to Prosus and WestBridge Capital, further consolidating Prosus' position as a major stakeholder. Accel also participated as a growth investor during this funding period. Since inception, Rapido had raised over $550 million from investors including WestBridge Capital and Nexus Venture Partners. |
| Jul 2024 | Series E | Westbridge Capital (lead); Think Investments; Invus; Nexus Venture Partners | $200M | $1.1B | Rapido, an Indian ride-hailing startup focused on bike taxis, auto-rickshaws, and newly launched four-wheeler cabs, raised approximately $200 million in a Series E funding round led by WestBridge Capital on July 29, 2024, with participation from Nexus Venture Partners, Think Investments, and Invus Opportunities. This funding elevated the company's post-money valuation to $1.1 billion, marking its entry into the unicorn club. An initial tranche of $120 million was reported in regulatory filings, with the full round reaching $200 million commitments. The capital is earmarked for expanding Rapido's four-wheeler taxi services to compete with Ola and Uber, scaling operations across more than 100 cities, and exploring quick commerce deliveries using its two-wheeler fleet, including partnerships with Swiggy for B2B food delivery during lean hours and ONDC for logistics. Rapido has achieved significant traction, crossing $1 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV), processing 2.3-2.5 million daily orders (7% B2B), and becoming the market leader in bike taxis with 16.5 lakh daily rides by March 2024, surpassing Ola. Previously, Rapido raised $180 million in a 2022 Series D round from investors including Swiggy, TVS Motors, WestBridge, and Nexus, at a valuation of $825 million. FY23 financials showed revenue of Rs 497.5 crore, up from Rs 157.9 crore in FY22, though net losses widened to Rs 674.6 crore. The company introduced a zero-commission SaaS model for auto drivers and aims for EBITDA profitability. |
| Apr 2022 | Series D | Swiggy (lead); TVS Motor; Nexus Ventures; Westbridge Capital; Shell Ventures | $180M | $830M | Rapido is an India-based on-demand ride-hailing service provider specializing in bike and auto-taxi aggregation, launched in 2015 from Bengaluru. It operates a mobile platform for booking bike rides to navigate heavy traffic, has expanded into three-wheeler services across 26 cities, and includes a growing B2B vertical fulfilling orders for platforms like Swiggy using its riders. The company claims over 1.5 million drivers and 25 million registered users as of the round, aiming to double users in the next year. In April 2022, Rapido raised $180 million in a Series D funding round led by Swiggy, which invested approximately $124 million for around 15% stake, valuing the company at $830 million post-money according to regulatory filings. Other participants included new investor TVS Motor and existing backers Westbridge Capital, Shell Ventures, and Nexus Ventures Partners. This brought Rapido's total funding to over $310 million. Some reports cited a valuation around $800 million. The investment supports synergies between Swiggy and Rapido, enhancing Swiggy's last-mile delivery and quick commerce via Instamart by accessing Rapido's bike taxi fleet, while providing additional earnings for delivery executives and captains. Funds will improve technology, hire personnel, and expand the rider base. The deal marks Swiggy's largest startup investment and first in mobility, amid competition where Zomato's talks with Rapido fell through. Rapido operates in India's ride-hailing market, which saw peak corporate-backed deals in 2016-2018 but has cooled with players like Uber and Lyft going public or acquired. This round's size stands out amid rising inflation and interest rates. Later developments include Swiggy divesting its stake and re-evaluating the investment amid rivalry, with Rapido's valuation noted at $1-1.1 billion in 2025 contexts. |

Rapido continued scaling, raising additional rounds post-2019 including Series C in 2021 ($52M), reaching unicorn status in 2024 with $1B+ valuation after $120M Series E led by Westbridge, and expanding into four-wheelers and taxis to challenge market leaders. |
