Acko General Insurance Co. Ltd., a Mumbai-based online startup, has now secured $25 Million from the Flipkart co-founder and former group Chief Executive Binny Bansal, according to a report.
The investment is reportedly a part of a larger financing round of $60-$80 Million. However, until now, the report has not been confirmed by the Acko founder Varun Dua and Bansal.
