PayU In Talks To Acquire BillDesk; Second Largest Deal In India After Walmart-Flipkart
- ByStartupStory | July 6, 2021
India may soon confront its second-largest acquisition deal in the fast-growing internet-based solutions with Naspers-backed PayU likely to acquire payments gateway major BillDesk. BillDesk offers a single versatile, scalable payments platform for enterprise-wide electronic payments and collections, related reconciliation and settlement operations, through multiple delivery channels and using a wide range of payment methods.
PayU is one of the multiple suitors who are said to be in the race to acquire BillDesk in a transaction that could take place at a premium valuation of as much as $3.5-4.5 billion. Though nothing has been finalized as of yet. However, the acquisition of BillDesk at such valuations would provide a handsome exit to the founders as well as to the existing private equity investors Temasek and General Atlantic.
Meanwhile, the largest deal so far remains United States (US)-based Walmart’s $16 billion acquisition of Flipkart’s majority shareholding. Flipkart was founded by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal who no longer remain a part of the company’s active management.
