About the deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investec acted as the Exclusive financial advisor to Wow! Momo Foods Pvt. Ltd, India\u2019s leading domestic QSR chain, on its US$50m Series D Fundraise led by Khazanah<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The round was led by Khazanah and saw participation from existing investor OAKS. Khazanah, sovereign wealth fund of Malaysia, invested $42M both in primary and secondary. This funding will enable Wow! Momo to grow as pan-India brand and strengthen their market presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we did<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investec leveraged its deep Investor network to raise funds for Wow! Momo and appropriately positioned them in the process. With Investec’s deep understanding of deal making and the food services space, we were able to pre-empt & negotiate a favourable deal in the current funding environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investec played a key role in executing the deal by balancing the interests of the secondary sellers, Founders and incoming investors, thus creating a foundation for long-term partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThere is no greater joy for a founder than giving its initial investors (Indian Angel Network (IAN) and Lighthouse Funds) great partial exits. For us, the Bharat Story has just begun with a huge headway of growth. With Khazanah\u2019s investment into the business and their long-term approach, we will strive to become the powerhouse of innovation and transformation in the food space while keeping a strong balance between sustainability, growth and backing breakthroughs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIn our journey with investments in other F&B brands, we have realised that long-term thinking and dynamic leadership are essential. We feel that Wow! Momo has both. We feel that Wow!
