ITC to buy 10% stake in Blupin Technologies
2022-04-22Diversified entity ITC is said to acquire 10.07 percent stake in Blupin Technologies Pvt Ltd for up to Rs 39.34 crore. The investment will provide the company an early mover advantage in the evolving content-to-community-to-commerce space and will provide an expanded presence in the D2C space.
Blupin Technologies is a web and app-based content-to-community-to-commerce platform and offers mother and baby care products and services under the brand name Mylo. It is focused on the parenting journey of young families.
Commenting on the acquisition, Sameer Satpathy, ITC Chief Executive, Personal Care Products Business, said, "The investment will provide ITC the opportunity to foray into this emerging space and become an integral part of the evolution of this area.
