Paytm E-commerce bought back the entire stake of Alibaba (28.34%) and Antfin (Netherlands) Holding (14.98%), a total of 43.32%, for ₹42 crore, according to the company’s filings.
This values the company at a mere ₹100 crore, plunging from $3 billion, the valuation the Vijay Shekhar Sharma-led company fetched in its last fundraising that was in 2020.
Paytm E-commerce has proposed reducing the company’s equity share capital and securities premium account and said it would hold an extraordinary general meeting on 23 May.
On 15 May, Paytm E-commerce announced that it would pivot to Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) as its primary focus and explore opportunities in the exports business in place of traditional physical goods e-commerce. “As part of the shift in the business direction of the company, Paytm E-commerce also sees the exit of early investors Alibaba and Ant Group."
During FY2021, the company posted revenue of Rs419 crore and Rs504 crore in losses.
