eMudhra Responds to 3i Infotech Allegations on Past Transactions
eMudhra Limited held an investor call on Feb 6, 2026, to address 3i Infotech's allegations regarding a 2010 divestment and preference share redemption. eMudhra denies fraud, stating the divestment was at ₹55 crore, above Deloitte's valuation. They also clarified the preference share redemption, noting a part was settled in 2017. The company believes the allegations are being raised after 15-17 years by new management.
The allegations, if proven, could have significant financial and reputational implications. However, the company's strong rebuttal and historical context suggest the immediate impact might be contained, warranting a medium impact rating.
The company is responding to allegations. While they are refuting the claims and express confidence in legal proceedings, the announcement itself is a response to a dispute, making the sentiment neutral.
eMudhra Limited has released a transcript of an investor conference call held on February 06, 2026, addressing allegations made by 3i Infotech Limited on February 04, 2026. The call, led by Executive Chairman Mr. Venkatraman Srinivasan, aimed to clarify past transactions related to the company's divestment from 3i Infotech and the redemption of preference shares.
Mr. Srinivasan detailed his history with 3i Infotech, stating he was Managing Director until June 2012. He explained that eMudhra, initially a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3i Infotech, was hived off in December 2010. The first allegation concerns this divestment, with 3i Infotech claiming it was sold at a low price due to fraud and misrepresentation. eMudhra's management refutes this, highlighting that the divestment in 2010 was valued by Deloitte at ₹30-35 crore but divested at ₹55 crore, a figure higher than the valuation. They also emphasize that the board at the time comprised eminent individuals and that 3i Infotech was predominantly ICICI-owned, with Mr. Srinivasan being a salaried CEO without shareholding or ownership in the acquiring entity, Indus Innovest.
The second allegation pertains to the redemption of preference shares amounting to ₹25 crore, initially invested by 3i Infotech. These shares were due for redemption in 2015. Due to a lack of accumulated profits, eMudhra negotiated a revised redemption plan with 3i Infotech in late 2013/early 2014. This plan involved staggered payments, with parts redeemed by October 2016 and the remainder structured with redemption dates extending to December 2023, contingent on specific events like share sales or fundraising. eMudhra stated that a portion of the preference shares was redeemed in 2017 as per the agreement, with the company returning the shares and filing necessary forms. They claim that the current management of 3i Infotech, which has changed significantly, is raising these old matters after 15-17 years, despite eMudhra's attempts to provide evidence and facilitate inspections, including a cancelled meeting on January 9, 2025. eMudhra expressed confidence in prevailing in legal proceedings, though acknowledging it may be a prolonged process.
