Info Edge (India) Ltd has approved fresh investments totalling Rs 75 crore in two of its wholly owned subsidiaries—Smartweb Internet Services Limited and Startup Investments (Holding) Limited (SIHL). The decision was taken at a meeting of the Committee of Executive Directors held on November 26, 2025, the company said in a stock exchange filing.
According to the disclosure, Info Edge will invest Rs 5 crore in Smartweb by subscribing to 5,00,000 Compulsorily Convertible Debentures (CCDs) of face value Rs 100 each. The move is aimed at strengthening Smartweb’s financial position and meeting its funding requirements. The filing notes that Smartweb reported a turnover of Rs 41.39 crore, a profit after tax of Rs 5.03 crore, and a net worth of Rs 60.91 crore as of March 31, 2025.
The second investment involves around Rs 70 crore in SIHL, with Info Edge acquiring 29,16,666 CCDs at an issue price of Rs 240 per debenture, including a premium of Rs 140. SIHL is primarily engaged in direct or indirect investments in tech companies and alternative investment funds (AIFs). Info Edge said the funds will help SIHL explore investment opportunities and provide capital for general corporate purposes.
Both Smartweb and SIHL are already wholly owned subsidiaries of Info Edge, and the fresh investments fall under related-party transactions. The company clarified that promoters have no interest in these transactions, and the investments are being carried out at arm’s-length terms.
Smartweb, incorporated in 2015, is involved in internet services, investment advisory and financial consulting. SIHL, incorporated in 2015, functions as Info Edge’s investment arm with a focus on technology-led ventures.
The meeting approving these investments began at 4:00 PM and concluded at 4:20 PM.
