India-based business-to-business (B2B) food-tech firm HungerBox is reportedly set to raise $15m in a funding round led by e-commerce payment system and digital wallet company Paytm.

Sources familiar with the matter were reported by The Times of India, as saying that the round will see participation from existing investors, namely South Korea-based Neoplux, private equity fund Sabre Partners, and Singapore-based LionRock Capital.

A source aware of the development was quoted by Economic Times (ET) as saying: “HungerBox has been growing three times year-on-year, and it fits in with Paytm’s strategy of a deep integrated play across all categories.”

A person aware of the investment talks said: “This space is attractive and the company (HungerBox) has grown over three times in the last one year.”

Established in 2016, HungerBox operates corporate cafeterias and food courts across 11 cities in India. The company has processed more than 50 million transactions to date.
