EBay said it is leading a new $133.8 million investment in Snapdeal, which bills itself as the largest online marketplace in India.
The Wall Street Journal in January reported that Snapdeal was in the process of raising $100 million, in a deal that could give it a valuation of $750 million to $1 billion.
EBay had led a $50 million investment in Snapdeal in June 2013. The company said Wednesday that the latest transaction gives it a larger ownership share of the Indian company, without providing specifics.The two companies offer similar e-commerce services. âEBay is excited about the prospects ahead for both Snapdeal and the eBay India business,â said Jay Lee, an eBay senior vice president and managing director for the Asia Pacific region, in prepared remarks.
A Snapdeal spokesman said last month that the company is preparing for a possible initial public offering in the U.S. within the next year, and is on a pace to reach $500 million in sales in its fiscal year ending in March.
Snapdeal co-founder and CEO Kunal Bahl said its previous institutional investors also participated in the new funding round, including Kalaari Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, Intel Capital and Saama Capital. He called the infusion a strong endorsement of Snapdealâs strategy and team.
