US-based Tiger Global Management is planning to invest up to $100 million (Rs 747 crore) in vehicle service and repair startup GoMechanic, two people told Mint. 

The investment may value the company at up to $500 million (Rs 3,735 crore), they said. 

Last June, the startup raised an undisclosed sum from Pawan Munjal, chairman and managing director of Hero MotoCorp. The company raised Rs 105 crore in December 2019, the round led by existing investors Chiratae Ventures and Sequoia Capital.
