Arvind Fashions Limited announced its decision to acquire Flipkart India Private Limited's entire 31.25% shareholding in its subsidiary, Arvind Youth Brands Private Limited (AYBPL). This acquisition, made through a Share Purchase Agreement, is set to make AYBPL a wholly owned subsidiary of Arvind Fashions.
