Dianping.com Dines On USD60 Million Investment

Chinese lifestyle and restaurant information listings website Dianping.com has confirmed to local media that the company has completed its latest round of financing of USD60 million.

Without disclosing the investment parties, the company said the funding will be used in its mobile Internet and group buying sectors, as well as its new business expansion.

This is reportedly the fourth-round of financing for the company.

Statistics published by the company showed that by the end of the second quarter of 2012, Dianping.com had gained over 48 million active users on a monthly basis, and its independent mobile client users reached 40 million. The website’s monthly comprehensive views reached nearly one billion. In addition, its group buying business maintained a double-digit growth month-over-month.
