The fresh funding is going to be used to drive leadership across the new and emerging markets. Besides, a part of it will be used for some key strategic acquisitions. Zomato, which was initially a menu card scanning service in India has further spread into a mobile app in which people can follow activities of their friends and write or read reviews about various restaurants across various parts of the world.
