SoftBank Threatens To Walk Out Of Snapdeal Flipkart Merger

India’s largest investor and the majority shareholder of Snapdeal, SoftBank, has threatened to back out of the merger if all minority shareholders do not approve of the Flipkart acquisition deal. A news daily, reported, according to sources close to the matter, SoftBank may be able to independently invest in Flipkart and can leave Snapdeal behind by walking out of the merger.

One of the clauses in Flipkart’s revised termsheet was for Snapdeal to get the approval of all the minority shareholders. Softbank, who has been orchestrating the sale of the biggest consolidation move in the Indian ecommerce industry, became the majority shareholder in May 2017 after buying out Kalaari Capital’s share in the company. Presently, the cofounders of the company each own about 6.5% stake, while early investor Nexus Capital has a 10% stake and SoftBank has a majority stake of about 47.5%.

The remaining Snapdeal stake is owned by the minority shareholders such as PremjiInvest, Ratan Tata, Foxconn, Alibaba Group, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, eBay, Temasek and Hong Kong based hedge funds and others. Out of the minority shareholders, Ratan Tata, Temasek, BlackRock and Foxconn have given their in principle approval to the proposed merger whereas the approval of 26 other Snapdeal investors is still required.

PremjiInvests, the personal investment arm of Azim Premji, initially opposed the merger over the special payments being offered to early investors and cofounders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal. Since then, it has been extremely difficult to a get 100% minority approval for the acquisition. The daily also reported a source saying, “SoftBank is exasperated by repeated objections and delays triggered by Snapdeal’s smaller shareholders.” They also added that even if 5% of the shareholders are unhappy with the revised Flipkart proposal, Softbank won’t pursue the merger.

SoftBank reported a $ 1.4 billion loss during the financial year 2017, on two of its major Indian investments Snapdeal and Ola. Therefore they have been looking to offload the ecommerce company and do not want to be held accountable if the deal falls through. Flipkart’s offer, according to SoftBank, is significantly better than the other alternative routes available to the struggling online marketplace.

In the past couple of weeks, it was also reported Snapdeal founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal were in talks with senior executives from various firms and with another ecommerce site Infibeam for an alternate option. They recently have also sold their online digital payments arm FreeCharge to the private sector lending firm, Axis Bank.

PayU Gets Final RBI Nod to Operate as Payment Aggregator Ahead of 2025 IPO

Published

on

PayU

PayU India, owned by Prosus, has received final approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator, a year after getting in-principle approval in April 2024. This authorization allows PayU to onboard new merchants and offer digital payment solutions, joining other major players like Razorpay, CCAvenue, and BillDesk.

The RBI’s nod comes as PayU prepares for its planned IPO in the second half of 2025, following a delay from its original 2024 timeline due to market conditions. The company, which serves over 450,000 merchants, reported $319 million in revenue from its core payments and credit business in the first half of FY25.

PayU stated that the approval will help it build a resilient, compliant, and innovation-driven institution, supporting merchants of all sizes and advancing the Digital India vision. The company has also strengthened its risk management and expanded its presence in real-time payments through a strategic stake in Mindgate Solutions.

Google’s Iconic ‘G’ Logo Gets First Update in 10 Years

Published

on

Google has refreshed its iconic ‘G’ logo for the first time in nearly 10 years, replacing the familiar solid blocks of red, yellow, green, and blue with a smooth, vibrant gradient that blends these colors seamlessly. This subtle update gives the logo a softer, more fluid, and modern appearance, aligning with Google’s evolving digital identity and current design trends.

The new gradient transitions smoothly from red to yellow, yellow to green, and green to blue, making the logo more visually appealing and adaptable across various devices, especially on mobile platforms. This redesign also reflects Google’s growing emphasis on artificial intelligence, echoing the gradient style used in the branding of Google Gemini, the company’s AI-generative assistant.

The updated ‘G’ logo has started rolling out on iOS through the Google Search app and on some Android devices, particularly Pixel phones running the Google app beta version 16.18. However, most other platforms, including the web and non-Pixel Android devices, still display the classic solid-color logo. A wider rollout is expected in the coming weeks.

So far, Google’s main wordmark and other product logos like Chrome, Maps, and Gmail remain unchanged. Given the shift toward gradient designs and AI-inspired visuals, similar updates to other Google icons may follow in the future.

In summary, this first major update to the ‘G’ logo since 2015 signals a subtle but meaningful shift in Google’s branding strategy, blending tradition with innovation as the company deepens its focus on AI and modern design aesthetics.

Ixigo Halts Bookings for Flights and Hotels to Turkey, China

Ixigo_StartupStories

Indian online travel platform ixigo has suspended all flight and hotel bookings to Turkey, China, and Azerbaijan in response to these countries expressing support for Pakistan after India’s military strikes-dubbed ‘Operation Sindoor’-against terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The move, announced by CEO Aloke Bajpai on X, was described as an act of solidarity with India during heightened diplomatic tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack.

ixigo’s decision aligns with similar actions by other Indian travel companies, including EaseMyTrip and Cox & Kings, which have also restricted travel services to Turkey, China, and Azerbaijan. The suspensions come amid widespread calls for boycotts after these countries condemned India’s military response and backed Pakistan.

The travel industry’s collective response underscores how geopolitical developments are influencing business decisions, with Indian companies emphasizing national interests and unity in the face of international criticism
