Flipkart, the company with a booming online retail in India, has finally acquired Myntra. The two companies have been in talks for a while now, and the only hurdle left was the deal structure.
However, as per the report, Flipkart has acquired a majority stake in Myntra, valuing the online retailer at $300-$330 million, overcoming the hurdle.
Flipkart’s acquisition of Myntra was recommended by two common investors in the companies – Tiger Global Management and Accel Partners, which came as a response to Amazon’s entry into India.
