Nazara Technologies has completed the acquisition of Smaaash Entertainment Private Limited, making it a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary. Nazara was allotted 1 crore equity shares of face value INR 10 each for INR 10 Crores and has also extended an unsecured inter-corporate loan of up to INR 116 Crores to Smaaash for settling its creditors' dues, taking the total resolution amount to INR 126 Crores. The acquisition was carried out under a resolution plan approved by the NCLT Mumbai Bench under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. Smaaash operates 11 gaming and entertainment centres across India under the 'SMAAASH' brand and reported revenue of INR 112.34 Crores in FY24. The loan carries an option to convert into equity and is on an arm's-length basis with no related-party interest.
This is a significant inorganic expansion for Nazara into the physical gaming and entertainment segment, strengthening its core gaming portfolio with operational centres and F&B revenue streams. The INR 126 Crore deployment is sizeable for Nazara, so investors should watch for integration progress and any future capital needs as Smaaash stabilises post-IBC resolution.
