The strategic investment in Moonshine Technology is yet another testament to Nazara’s commitment to driving innovation and delivering unparalleled experiences to its user base.
Nazara Technologies, a prominent name in India’s gaming and sports media industry, is poised to make a significant move by acquiring a substantial stake in Moonshine Technology Private Limited. This acquisition will see Nazara securing over 35.07% of Moonshine’s equity for a sum of ₹820 crore. The strategic move aims to bolster Nazara’s foothold in the gaming sector and unlock lucrative growth opportunities.
The financial structure of the deal entails a blend of equity and cash. Specifically, the transaction involves ₹20 crore in equity shares and a sizeable ₹800 crore in cash.
