The acquisition is significant as it aims to integrate advanced technology and research capabilities, potentially enhancing customer experience and creating cross-selling opportunities. However, the full impact will depend on the successful integration and realization of synergies.

The remaining up to 37.65% will be acquired through the issuance of 5paisa Capital equity shares on a preferential basis at a swap ratio of 1:31 (1 equity share of Giskard for 31 equity shares of 5paisa Capital).
Upon completion of the transaction, Giskard, which specializes in data-driven technology solutions, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of 5paisa Capital. This acquisition aims to strengthen 5paisa's digital investment ecosystem and enhance its research capabilities by integrating Giskard's advanced research and analytics offerings, including AI-enabled investment solutions. The company will also conduct a postal ballot process to seek shareholder approval for these agenda items.
The Board Meeting, which commenced at 8:30 PM, concluded at 9:30 PM on July 28, 2026. The acquisition is expected to be completed within six months, subject to necessary corporate, statutory, and regulatory approvals, including from SEBI.
