In its first significant commercial office deal in Hyderabad, Xander Investment Management Pvt Ltd, the real estate private equity arm of global investment firm The Xander Group Inc., will invest $350 million for the development and subsequent acquisition of 4.5 million sq. ft of office space in developer Phoenix Group’s project.

Nykaa in early talks with Softbank to raise up to $200 million

Nykaa, the online retailer of fashion and beauty products, is in early talks with Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp. to raise $150-200 million, Mint reported.

It will also be the first foreign investment into the company, which has so far raised capital only from Indian funds and investors. Nykaa, founded in 2012 by former investment banker Falguni Nayar, started as a multi-brand online beauty retailer but has since grown to offer products through mobile app and even brick-and-mortar stores. The company claims to offer more than 80,000 products across 700 brands on its online portal. It also has about 20 offline stores and expects to touch about 50 stores within the next two years.

This transaction may become the first casualty in the deals segment after a sudden liquidity squeeze has upset the funding mechanism of non-banking finance companies. Promoters of Punjab National Bank and Carlyle, which together own about 66% in the mortgage lender, were looking to sell their stake to a large investor. As many as 20 bidders had put in non-binding bids, of which seven were shortlisted and were about to submit binding bids. The process was likely to be over by December. Read more
