Walmart buys out $1.4bn Tiger Global stake in India’s Flipkart, WSJ reports

Walmart (WMT.N) has paid $1.4 billion to buy out hedge fund Tiger Global’s investment in its Indian e-commerce firm Flipkart and acquired private equity firm Accel’s remaining 1% stake in the company as well, media reports said on Monday.

The Wall Street Journal said Walmart bought the shares from Tiger Global recently, valuing the Indian company at about $35 billion. This is down from a near-$38 billion valuation which Flipkart had attained in 2021.

The U.S. retailer bought a 77% stake in Flipkart for about $16 billion in 2018.

Accel’s stake sale in Flipkart was reported by the Economic Times newspaper. The report did not say how much Walmart paid for the stake.

A Walmart spokesperson told Reuters on Monday that the company bought additional shares of Flipkart from some investors, including Tiger Global, but did not share any other details.

Accel and Tiger Global did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.

It was a terrible time, and I was in need of help recovering my crypto funds as I wasn’t even able to provide for my two kids because I had invested wrongfully and had no job or any more savings. I saw a series of testimonies by people on how they were assisted by Cyber Genie. I honestly didn’t believe it, but after noticing that these testimonials are from different parts of the world, and being poor with lots of debts and a family to care for, I had no choice but to give them a shot. I consulted them for assistance, they ruled out their working terms, and we agreed and they commenced working. Please get in touch with this crypto recovery expert if you had invested wrongfully with a fake crypto broker or investment website.
