Led by Westbridge, the round also saw participation from Bace Fund, Astrend India Investment and Sabre Investment, as per regulatory documents filed by Roppen Transportation Services (which operates Rapido) with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
The round involved issue of 11 equity shares (at a premium of about Rs 1.37 lakh each) and 28,387 series B compulsory convertible preference shares at a premium of Rs 1,37,592 each in cash, it added.
The proposal was approved at the company's extra ordinary general meeting by shareholders of Roppen Transportation Services on August 19, the documents showed.
