Task management app Dunzo has raised $12.3 million in an investment round led by Google.
Existing investors Aspada Advisors and Blume Ventures, who had previously put in $2 million, also invested in the second funding round for the Bengaluru-based company.
Started in 2015 by Kabeer Biswas, Mukund Jha, Ankur Aggarwal, and Dalvir Suri, Dunzo lets users run errands of all kinds, from ordering food to picking up keys to doing deliveries through its mobile app. It is currently operating only in Bengaluru. The round was led by the Next Billion Users unit of Google last week.
Sahil Kini, prinicipal at Aspada Investments said in a LinkedIn post that the company will be next expanding to Pune and said the funding slowdown of 2016 had affected the fund raising process for the company.
"We couldn't have asked for a more capable and wonderful coinvestor on this journey and are confident that they will be the rocket-fuel that Dunzo has rightfully earned," he said.
