Religare Enterprises is close to buying a majority stake in a venture capital and private equity investment firm co-founded by former top-flight American sportsmen, as part of its plan to grow into a global financial services provider through overseas acquisitions.
Religare, owned by the former promoters of Ranbaxy Laboratories Malvinder and Shivinder Singh, has signed a definitive pact to buy about a 65 per cent stake in California-based Northgate Capital for some $200 million (about Rs 1,000 crore). The deal is expected to close by July.
Sachindra Nath, Group COO at Religare said that the financial services provider is buying Northgate through a US-based holding company and has plans for several more acquisitions.
