Info Edge's board approved two transactions on March 27, 2026. First, the company will commit up to Rs 250 crore to A88 Fund I, a newly launched Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), with its wholly-owned subsidiary Smartweb Internet Services acting as sponsor and investment manager. The fund will target early-stage deep tech companies in India over a 12-year life cycle. Second, subsidiary SIHL will transfer its entire 26.14% stake in associate Shopkirana E Trading to Singapore-based Trustroot Internet Pvt Ltd (TIPL) for USD 32.97 million (about Rs 270 crore) plus 1,04,868 TIPL preference shares. SIHL will additionally invest USD 1.72 million in TIPL via primary infusion, taking its total holding in TIPL to 2.126%. Shopkirana, which contributed about 17.69% of Info Edge's standalone turnover and 15.88% of total income in FY25, will cease to be an associate post-deal.
The transactions are largely neutral for shareholders. Divesting Shopkirana (a non-core B2B associate) simplifies the portfolio, while the Rs 250 crore AIF commitment and small TIPL stake reflect continued deployment of surplus cash into long-term investments rather than core operations.
