Several wealthy people’s family offices took part in the round. According to PTI, institutional investors including Sattva Group and Varanium Capital Advisors took part in the round as well.

“With this funding, we reach a major turning point in our path and become Unicorns. We sincerely appreciate all of the tremendous support that our investors have given us. The CEO of InCred, Bhupinder Singh, stated, “This equity capital will help us take advantage of these opportunities, strengthen our balance sheet, and provide us with enough runway for the next couple of years of expansion.”

Zepto is the only other firm to reach a unicorn valuation this year amidst a fundraising freeze. The fast-food firm got further funding in August, valuing it at $1.4 billion.
