MUMBAI: Vishal P.Gondal founded Indiagames, a developer of gaming software, is to raise $7-8 million (
30 crore) from European private equity firm 3i and US venture capital company BV Capital, reports Financial Express.
Indiagames had raised its first round from Infinity Ventures and IL&FS VC in 2000.
Quoting unnamed sources, the FE report said the new investors will be buying out the entire stake held by Infinity and a partial stake of IL&FS. The latter holds about 30% stake in Indiagames and stands to make an eight fold return on its initial investment by selling half of this, the FE report said.
