Funding crunch

Dunzo aimed to raise $150 million but secured only $45 million via convertible notes from Google and Reliance. Other shareholders abstained.

Store closures

Dunzo has closed 70% of its dark stores and is shifting focus to B2B operations. It is going the B2B way as it is less capital-intensive.

Reliance

Dunzo seeks to raise $20 million from Reliance, which currently holds 25.6% of the company. Google's shareholding stands just below 20%.
