"Online travel firm MakeMyTrip Ltd has agreed to buy Ibibo Group’s travel business in India in an all-stock deal, creating the country’s largest online travel firm which, according to a note by Morgan Stanley, is worth $1.8 billion. The deal value wasn’t announced, but the $1.8 billion valuation and the fact that Ibibo’s owners, Naspers and Tencent, end up with a 40% stake in the merged entity, translate into a transaction worth $720 million. Naspers owns a third of Tencent, its most valuable investment.” reported Mint.

Mohit needs to let th control go and trust his soldiers. He is an extremely hard working man but needs to appreciate that no gets more than 24 hours in a day. He is a good man, - good lawyer but needs to micromanage less. I don't want to sound rude. I have a lot of respect for him but I personally do not agree with the way he manages the firm.
