The company is buying a 19.48 percent stake in ad-tech company Adonmo for an aggregate cash consideration of Rs.112 crore, whereas it will purchase five percent equity in B2B software platform UrbanPiper for Rs.37.38 crore.

Reports suggest that, both UrbanPiper and Adonmo investments are synergistic to company’s core business and will help accelerate the growth of these companies by filling important gaps in the food ordering and delivery ecosystem.

AdonMo is an ad-tech company that is taking targeted digital advertising beyond personal devices to outdoor digital screens.

Growth in Adonmo's platform will help in food ordering and delivery business to leverage new digital avenues for customer acquisition, according to the reports.
