Info Edge Investments in Leading Tech Firms

Info Edge (India) Ltd has assessed the total worth of its investments in two prominent tech internet companies—Zomato and PB Fintech (operating Policybazaar and Paisabazaar)—at Rs 31,500 crore (around $3.7 billion) as of March 31, 2025, based on its latest disclosures.

Investment Stakes in Zomato and PB Fintech

The Gurugram-based internet conglomerate maintains a 12.38% stake in Zomato along with a 19% share in PB Fintech, both fundamental assets in Info Edge’s publicly traded tech portfolio, which continues to enhance its financial health.

Value of Investment Activities

As outlined in an analyst report from Info Edge, its investment ventures constitute roughly 30–40% of the company’s total valuation. The firm initiated its investment in Policybazaar in 2008, followed by Zomato in 2010, with the firms’ valuations recorded at Rs 21 crore and Rs 9.4 crore, respectively.

Support for Startups

To date, Info Edge has invested in 111 startups using a combination of its own funds and resources from its Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) division. It has directed Rs 3,959 crore towards these enterprises, and the fair market value of its portfolio now stands at Rs 36,855 crore ($4.33 billion), reflecting an estimated gross internal rate of return (IRR) of 36%.

Future Plans and Market Influence

While Info Edge has not disclosed any imminent intentions to liquidate or monetize these essential holdings, the disclosures underscore the importance of startup equity in its long-term value creation plans. However, the fluctuations in stock prices of these two companies have influenced Info Edge’s own stock performance, making it somewhat challenging for certain investors to keep up. The firm has recently executed a stock split in the ratio of 1:5 to enhance liquidity and make shares more accessible to retail investors, but the impact from its investments in Zomato and Policybazaar is expected to persist. The specific operations of Info Edge and their relative performance may have been overshadowed by the overall valuation of its investment portfolio, possibly reinforcing the argument for a distinct publicly traded entity for its investment holdings.
