The latest TATA-Walmart deal. In May 2018, the global retail giant Walmart purchased a 66% stake in Flipkart for $16 billion. Till date, it has been the country’s biggest-ever deal in the retail space. But, this may be overtaken latest by January 2021 by a new ambitious deal coming up between TATAs and Walmart.
One of the biggest news that has come up in recent times is: “Walmart is considering a $25 billion investment into Tata Group’s Super App.”
The TATAs proposed super-app may be launched as a joint venture, combining the Tata Group’s entire retail product franchise and Flipkart’s offerings from Walmart.
Waiting to be lifted
Super Apps from Tata group can definitely provide a comprehensive solution for B2B2C. The Tatas seem to be working with advisers to bring in global tech companies, including investors, for the digital entity. Goldman Sachs may have been asked as the investment bank for this deal.
Tatas, the pioneer of the Indian tech industry, stayed inactive for a while but now the group is catching the super app fever. It may have to reset its supply chain network. Given how foreign capital has built a strong infra for online/e-commerce, this is the most promising time for super apps to mushroom.
Amazon and Reliance Jio, which is planning a similar offering with Facebook are set to have a new competitor in terms of variety and economies of scale. moneyinvestors.in/tata-walmart/
