The board at MyGate has passed a special resolution to issue two equity shares and 2,38,122 Series B1 compulsory convertible preference shares (CCPS) at an issue price of Rs 4,199.52 per share to raise Rs 100 crore or nearly $12.5 million, per documents filed with the Registrar of Companies.

Urban Company and Acko Technology and Services co-led the financing round and poured in Rs 50 crore each. As per Marketmoney estimates, the company has been valued at around Rs 1,700 crore or $210 million (post-allotment).

This investment also makes it a first for Urban Company and Acko — who in the past have only made acquisitions but not such strategic investments.
