Boodmo.com

India-based boodmo.com, an online auto spare parts marketplace, has raised Rs 15 crore. The company will use the funds to strengthen its supply chain and operations. In 2019, boodmo had raised Rs 18 crore from undisclosed investors in two rounds of funding.

Boodmo.com, a unit of Smart Parts Online, has over eight lakh customers in its registered database and about 1,000 orders are placed on the website every day. Oleksandr Danylenko is the managing director and co-founder of boodmo.com.

Yuanfudao

Online education platform Yuanfudao, which is backed by Tencent Holdings, is close to completing a financing round that would value it at around $7.5 billion, Reuters reported.

Yuanfudao, founded in 2012, offers online courses and homework plans to students.

Yuanfudao’s focus on online learning puts it in one of the few sectors that have seen a surge in investor interest as the coronavirus and school closures force students in China to attend classes via the internet.

The round of financing is led by Tencent Holdings and private equity powerhouse Hillhouse Capital Group.

Yuanfudao’s fundraising round kicked off before the Lunar New Year holiday in late January when the company originally aimed to raise as much as $1 billion. The talks are ongoing and the investment amounts have not been finalised.

Yuanfudao was valued at $3 billion in a previous round of financing in 2018. The company, which says it has 400 million users, also counts Warburg Pincus, Matrix Partners China, and IDG Capital as its backers.
