Tata Digital owns a 64% stake in BigBasket, positioning it within the Tata conglomerate's digital ecosystem. The company is focused on widening its quick commerce footprint through its BB Now service by expanding its network of dark stores to offer faster delivery. BigBasket has publicly announced plans to launch its IPO within 18–24 months, with the IPO size expected in the range of INR 12,000 to 15,000 crore.
Cyborg Score Rationale
BigBasket has raised a total funding of $943M over 22 rounds from 68 investors, demonstrating strong capital backing. In November 2025, the company raised Rs 200 crore through debt financing from DBS Bank to speed up expansion, improve its supply chain and deepen its reach in high demand segments. However, the company remains unprofitable and faces intense competition in quick commerce.
