[Funding alert] Real estate startup NoBroker raises $30M from General Atlantic

Bengaluru-based online real estate rental startup NoBroker has raised $30 million as part of its Series D funding round led by Singapore-based private equity firm General Atlantic. 

General Atlantic had invested $51 million in NoBroker’s Series C in June 2019 and four months later, it participated in another Series D funding round of $50 million led by Tiger Global in the startup.

According to RoC filings accessed by YourStory, General Atlantic has become the largest stakeholder in NoBroker with this capital infusion. It now holds 30.89 percent stake in the company while SAIF Partners and Tiger Global control 20.08 percent and 10.17 percent stake respectively. 

This February, NoBroker announced its first acquisition of Gurugram-based apartment management solution Society Connect in an all-cash deal. As a part of the acquisition, the founders and 28 employees of Society Connect have joined NoBroker’s own visitor and community management app, NoBrokerHood. 

This month, NoBrokerHood also launched grocery services on its app to enable society residents to order daily essentials at their doorstep in wake of the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The company has already started delivering groceries in cities like Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad, and plans to extend the service to other cities, including Delhi and Mumbai.
