Last October, Japan’s SoftBank Corp had invested $627 million in Snapdeal. Prior to that, Mr Ratan Tata had invested an undisclosed amount of money in the firm. Prior to Mr. Tata’s investment, Snapdeal had raised $100 million (Rs 590 crore) from a group of new investors including US-based BlackRock Financial Management, Singapore’s state investment firm Temasek, Hong Kong-based Myriad Asset Management and Tybourne Capital Management, besides PremjiInvest, the personal investment vehicle of Wipro chairman Azim Premji.
