Zepto tries "Swap and Save" feature for clearing slow-moving stock

Zepto is piloting a "Swap and Save" feature, allowing users to substitute cart items with cheaper alternatives. While it may seem counterintuitive to increasing average order values, the feature aims to clear unsold or slow-moving inventory, especially perishables, and offers monetization potential through new seller discounts and promoting private labels. This initiative follows the launch of Atom, a subscription-based data insights tool for consumer brands, replacing the Zepto Pass subscription service with Zepto Daily.

ICICI Securities gets shareholder nod to delist, setting up merger with ICICI Bank

ICICI Securities has received approval from shareholders to delist its stock, moving closer to merging with its parent company, ICICI Bank.

Public institutional investors holding 16.68% of the company backed the move, but only 32% of non-institutional shareholders approved. ICICI Bank, which currently holds a 75% stake in the brokerage, will pay around INR59bn ($707.9m) to acquire the remaining 25% in a share-swap deal. Some minority investors have expressed discontent with the offer price, which is 2% less than the stock's last closing price.

PAG-controlled Nuvama to challenge tribunal order in Supreme Court

Indian wealth manager Nuvama Wealth Management, majority-owned by PAG, plans to contest an order by the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) in the Supreme Court. The SAT dismissed an appeal by Nuvama Clearing Services, a subsidiary of Nuvama Wealth Management, relating to the mishandling of client securities by Anugrah Stock and Broking. Nuvama argues that penalizing a professional clearing member for a broker's misconduct is unjust and potentially detrimental to industry norms. The company maintains that the SAT ruling will have no material impact on its operations or long-term goals.
