Zomato raised another $250 million

Indian food delivery startup, Zomato, had raised another $250 million. The last series J funding round was 2 months before with the closing of $660 million. 


There are multiple investors this time some of them are Kora($115 million), Fidelity($55 million), Tiger Global($50 million), Bow Wave($20 million) and Dragoneer($10 million). ZOmato is 12-year old now and has its headquarter in Gurgaon. After this new investment, Zomato's total valuation is about $5.4 billion which was $3.9 billion in December last year.

Zomato has acquired the Indian Food Delivery Business of Uber last year. The major competitor of Zomato at present is Swiggy(whose value is about $3.6 billion). Amazon has also started its food delivery service but only in some parts of Bangalore.

Zomato co-founder and CEO, Deepinder Goyal said,
December 2020 is expected to be the highest ever GMV month in our history. We are now clocking ~25% higher GMV than our previous peaks in February 2020. I am supremely excited about what lies ahead and the impact that we will create for our customers, delivery partners and restaurant partners.


Zomato is also working on its IPO sometime in the first half of 2021.

Setting up Cpp environment on VS Code | Windows 10

I have recently switched to Windows 10 from PopOs ( a Debian-based Linux) because of my project-related work which could not be done in any Debian-based Linux. So, I installed windows 10 on my system and it was just a little annoying but cool as well because my system's performance has increased (which was obvious as I have deleted all my previous data just backed up around 60Gb of it). So, starting with the process of setting up the environment for C++ on the VS Code on Windows 10. In Linux, I used to run C++ files on Sublime text only but on Windows, I'm just using VS code for both C++ and JavaScript. Let's start setting up the environment. I am dividing this whole process into 4 steps: First, you have to set up a compiler for the system. As we know that C/C++ is compiled programming language which requires a compiler to make them compiled and run. In Linux, there is already a gcc/g++ compiler preinstalled. But in Windows, you have to install it separately. So you can dow...

Cpp program to count digits in an integer

C++ program to count the number of digits in an integer: Suppose you have an integer, n = 1567. The number of digits in n is 4. Input: 1567 Output: 4 Input: 58694 Output: 5 Solution:  To solve this problem, we can simply iterate to all these digits starting from the rightmost digit. We will update the number by dividing it by 10 until it becomes less than or equal to zero. Step 1: n=1567, count=0.               n = n/10; count = count+1; Step 2: n=156, count=1.             n = n/10; count = count+1; Step 3: n=15, count=2.             n = n/10; count = count+1; Step 4: n=1, count=3.             n = n/10; count = count+1; Step 5: n=0; count=3;               Loop will end here. C++ implementation: #include   <bits/stdc++.h> using   namespace   std ; int   main ()...
