Chinese carpool and ride-sharing app Tiantian Yongche, has announced the completion of a C series funding round led by Baidu, followed by Sequoia Capital. Although the amount was not disclosed, the company claims its valuation is now close to US$200 million.

In its attempt to become a leading ride-sharing app in China, the company has rolled out a multi-approach service, releasing one-on-one, point-to-point, carpool and rides-sharing models.
