Piramal has made the investment in his personal capacity. “Snapdeal’s sharp execution in bringing great selection to the mass market segment in tier 2-3 cities has been quite successful, leveraging the growing Internet penetration in these geographies. Since 2017, Snapdeal’s revenues have grown rapidly with profitable unit economics,” said Piramal. Indian e-commerce startup Snapdeal had recently announced that it has bounced back from its earlier lows, clocking in a 73% jump in revenue in the last financial year. As per regulatory documents filed by Snapdeal, its consolidated revenues grew to ₹925 crore in 2018-19 as compared to ₹536 crore in 2017-18. The e-commerce platform also reduced its losses to ₹186 crore in FY19 as compared to ₹611 crore in FY18. "Anand's investment comes as a significant endorsement for Snapdeal and the transformation the company has undergone over the last couple of years. His appreciation for what it takes to build a company with growing revenues with good economics in a competitive market comes from his own experiences of building and operating large companies in competitive sectors like real estate and financial services,” said <keyword id="219793" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kunal-Bahl">Kunal Bahl</keyword>, CEO &amp; Co-founder of Snapdeal. Snapdeal has come a long way from its very public breakdown in 2016-17. In 2017, Snapdeal, which was actually one of the early e-commerce players in the country, was caught in the grip of increased competition from Amazon and Flipkart. In the last two years, Snapdeal added over 60,000 new seller partners, who have added over 50 million new listings on the platform.

Mumbai, Jan 22 () Piramal Group real estate arm Piramal Realty plans to invest Rs 1,500 crore for developing a residential project in Thane, targeting homebuyers with specific budgets by offering smaller configurations, a top company official said.
 Terming it 'value housing' segment, the company has for the first time configured size of the apartments to attract millennials with relatively smaller budgets.
 The project is a part of the 32-acre township project Piramal Vaikunth, which will be spread across five acres and have a development potential of 2 million sq ft. 
 "With millennials at the helm, we have witnessed an increased traction towards the value segment over the last few quarters. Our foray into this segment is in line with our expansion plans of creating presence across the consumer demand pyramid. We will be investing Rs 1,500 crore for this development," Piramal Realty founder Anand Piramal said. 
 The configurations of these homes would be 1, 1.5 and 2 BHK apartments with access to premium amenities starting at 350 sq ft carpet area at Rs 60 lakh.
 He further said the company plans to replicate the model in future expansion of its existing projects. However, he did not give further details on the same.
 The company will fund its investment plans through debt and internal accruals, Piramal said.
 Developers, across markets, who have been primarily in the luxury and premium residential projects, are trying to right-price and right-size their offerings to meet requirements of first time homebuyers. 
 Piramal Realty, which currently has 17 million sq ft of residential and commercial space under development in and around Mumbai, plans to add another 10 million sq ft of residential space under development in 2020. 
 "Along with this project, we will be launching a few more including the next phase of our Byculla project and the other at Mahim, which we are developing jointly with Omkar Realtors. Apart from these, we will be also considering a few stressed projects to achieve the 10 million sq ft target," Piramal said.
 Banks and financial institutions are approaching the company to take up projects which they have funded and are now stuck due to various reasons, he added. 
 "We are evaluating a few such deals. Moreover, its a good proposition for us as we will not have to make capital investments as these projects are already funded, but we will get project development fees," Piramal said. PSK

With the opening of several world class malls, restaurants, hotels, schools and theatres, BKC will this year become the social and cultural nerve centre of the city," said Anand Piramal, founder, Piramal Realty.
 The company achieved a total sales booking worth Rs 3,400 crore last fiscal.
 Founded in 2012, Piramal Realty is one of the country's leading developers with 17 million sq ft of residential and commercial under development in and around Mumbai.

 Right after the first telecom war cooled off, Vodafone India (before merger with Idea) was back in the green due to reduced competitive intensity. That is when Vodafone was planning to go ahead with a public offer. One of the pre-IPO investors was Ajay Piramal who via Piramal Enterprises purchased 11% stake in 2011-12. He paid ₹5,864 crore but when it became obvious that the IPO plans were not going through, he also sold them in 2014. And, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/naazneenkarmali/2013/12/06/indian-billionaire-ajay-piramal-to-get-500-million-windfall-from-vodafone-stake-sale/#645833232d13">he received ₹8,900 crore</a>, a whopping 52% return or $1.4 billion, as per the exit agreement. Putting it simply, he received a listing premium for an IPO that never happened. Now of course, the Piramals are associated with the reigning telecom giant Jio, by marriage. Ajay Piramal’s son Anand Piramal is married to Isha Ambani, the daughter of Mukesh Ambani, the owner of Reliance Industries. Analjit Singh exits his legacy investments for ₹1, 241 crore

 When Ruias of Essar sold 67% of controlling stake to Vodafone in 2007, they never exited completely. They had held 33% minority stake in the company. The former deal which landed Vodafone in an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/markets/news/vodafone-idea-share-price-falls-sharply-after-record-loss-in-second-quarter/articleshow/72065283.cms">unexpected tax case</a>, also provided Ruias with a put option to exit their investment. During the start of this decade, Vodafone was planning an IPO and buying out all the minority shareholders. After multiple rounds of <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/technology/essar-exits-vodafone-for-5-bn-111040100124_1.html">negotiating and dilly dallying</a>, Essar agreed to sell their stake at $5 billion which was a part of the deal. However, since the 2007 deal was brokered, the value of India business had gone down due to severe competition as Tata DoCoMo made an entry in 2008.
