Wow! Momo is set to raise approximately $20 million (approximately ₹185 crore) in a fresh debt funding round. This latest round of funding is being led by InCred Credit Opportunities with active engagement from RevX Capital Fund and Anicut Capital. The deal represents a significant financial milestone for the company as it achieves its second debt raise of the year, as its strategy on debt raising remains strong given its continued operations and initiatives.

Capital deployment and previous funding

Official regulatory documents submitted to the Registrar of Companies indicate that the board of Wow! Momo authorized the issuance of 18,500 non-convertible debentures in various offerings to enable this capital accumulation. From the investor contribution aspect, InCred Credit Opportunities is leading the debt round with a majority investment of ₹125 crore. 

RevX Capital Fund follows next with a contribution of ₹40 crore, while the remaining ₹20 crore is contributed by Anicut Capital in order to close the total round for ₹185 crore. Through these newly issued funds, the company plans to use them to pay down existing debt, to support general corporate needs, and to finance its necessary growth capital needs.

The historical capital pool includes even the sizable ₹42 million equity Series D funding round from Khazanah Nasional in January 2024. The post-money valuation of the quick-service restaurant firm was at about ₹2,838 crores ($316 million).

This is the latest financial development to come following an earlier debt round accomplished throughout April of this year in which Wow! Momo took debt of ₹110 crore only from Anicut Capital. Considering the broader financial impact of the business, Wow! Momo has raised more than $140 million in total capital before to this announcement of debt injection.
