‘We admit that Rahul Yadav’s 4B Networks was a mistake’: Info Edge CEO
Live MintAfter the company reported its Q1 results for FY2024 on Friday, Info Edge founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani said that his decision to invest in Rahul Gandhi's realty tech startup 4B Networks was a ‘mistake’, according to media reports. The remarks came weeks after the company's arm Allcheckdeals India wrote down all of its investment in the 4B Networks, which it had made because it had not received the requested financial information. The company stated in a filing with the exchanges that its wholly owned subsidiary company Allcheckdeals India invested in and occasionally provided finance to 4B networks totaling ₹288 crore, of which ₹276 crore was invested in shares and ₹12 crore was debt financing. Allcheckdeals had asked 4B Networks and its current management for information, ‘including details and particulars of financial transactions, transactions with related parties, and such other aspects,’ which 4B Networks is contractually required to provide but has not, Info Edge stated in the exchange filing.
