Co-founder of leading e-tailer Flipkart, Sachin Bansal, invested Rs
150-crore ($21 million) in ride-sharing major Ola, business signals
platform paper.vc said on Monday.
Bansal, who co-founded Flipkart
along with Binny Bansal in 2007, bought a total of 70,588 preference
shares of city-based cab hailing platform, according to Ola's filings
with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) accessed by IANS from the
Chennai-based business intelligence firm.
The shares of Rs 10 face value were allotted to Bansal at a premium of Rs 21,240 per share, the filing noted.
Last week, Ola had also raised Rs 520-crore ($74 million) from its existing investor Steadview Capital.

Bansal co-founded Flipkart, he left the company in May last year when
American retail giant Walmart bought a 77 per cent equity stake in the
e-tailer for $16 billion (Rs 1,16,256 crore).
Bansal has made
over 10 investments in tech start-ups over the past few years in his
individual capacity, including electric bike start-up Ather Energy and
news aggregator Inshorts among others.
Founded in 2011 by Bhavish
Aggarwal and Ankit Bhati, Ola currently operates in 125 cities in
countries including India, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
The
company has been aggressively expanding its services internationally
since last year, as it competes against American ride-hailing firm Uber.
