Info Edge Divests Agstack stake for ₹91.7 Cr, Invests ₹35 Cr in Unnati
Info Edge will transfer its stake in Agstack (Gramophone) for ₹91.71 crore to Akshamaala Solutions (Unnati). SIHL will receive 15.75% of Unnati. SIHL will also invest ₹35 crore in Unnati, taking its total stake to 20.53%. The transaction is expected to complete within 90 days.
The transaction involves a significant stake transfer and a substantial investment, impacting Info Edge's subsidiary's portfolio and its strategic alignment within the agri-tech and fintech sectors. The value of the transaction and the strategic rationale justify a medium impact.
The announcement details a divestment and a subsequent investment, which are strategic financial maneuvers. While the investment in Unnati is a positive step, the divestment of Agstack is a neutral event as it represents a shift in portfolio rather than a direct gain or loss.
Info Edge (India) Limited announced on January 3, 2026, that its Board of Directors has approved the transfer of its entire stake in Agstack Technologies Private Limited ("Gramophone") through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Startup Investments (Holding) Limited ("SIHL"), to Akshamaala Solutions Private Limited ("Unnati"). SIHL currently holds 39.58% in Gramophone, which would increase to 50.94% on an "as if converted basis" before the transfer. SIHL will transfer 339,305 shares of Gramophone at ₹2,702.87 per share, aggregating to ₹91.71 crore. In return, Unnati will issue 49,145 preference shares to SIHL, representing 15.75% on a fully diluted basis.
Concurrently, SIHL will invest approximately ₹35 crore in Unnati through a primary infusion, subscribing to 18,756 preference shares. This investment will bring SIHL's aggregate shareholding in Unnati to 20.53% on a fully converted and diluted basis, potentially diluting to 18.48% post-merger of Gramophone with Unnati. Until the merger completion and if SIHL holds over 20% in Unnati, Unnati will be considered SIHL's associate company. The transaction is subject to the completion of certain condition precedents.
