Ahmedabad-headquartered digital payments and ecommerce platform operator Infibeam Avenues has announced a demerger of its ecommerce service and other businesses, an official statement said.

As part of the decision, Infibeam will demerge the small and medium enterprise (SME)-focused ecommerce marketplace unit operated by its subsidiary NSI Infinium Global to Suvidhaa.

The demerger will also entail the theme park and event businesses being operated by DRC Systems.

Infibeam will continue to focus on digital payments and ecommerce enterprise platform solutions.

Through the demerger, Infibeam aims to create enhanced value for shareholders and specialisation of services to facilitate growth, the statement added.

As per the demerger arrangement, Suvidhaa will issue 197 equity shares for 1,500 equity shares of Infibeam.

DRC will issue one equity share for 412 equity shares to Infibeam shareholders.

Suvidhaa Infoserve was founded in 2007 by former Forbes Infotainment executive Paresh Rajda. The company provides services such as digital bill payments, travel ticket booking and insurance payment collections.
