Rs 1.68 Cr Acquisition: Infonative Solutions to Acquire 51% Stake in Digital Benchers
Infonative Solutions Ltd has approved the acquisition of a 51% controlling stake in Digital Benchers Private Limited for a cash consideration of ₹1.68 crore. Digital Benchers is an early-stage AI-based EdTech firm incorporated in July 2024, reporting a turnover of ₹0.28 crore for FY26. The acquisition cost represents approximately 3.7% of Infonative's TTM revenue and 4.3% of its net worth, making it a small but strategic entry into AI-driven educational services. Post-acquisition, Digital Benchers will become a subsidiary of the company.
