            Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited Acquires BSS                               Microfinance Private Limited

      Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited (Kotak), today announced that it has executed binding share purchase agreement to acquire 99.49% of equity shares of BSS Microfinance Private Limited (BSS), a Non-Banking Finance Company, classified as a NBFC-MFI, from existing shareholders subject to regulatory and other approvals, including Reserve Bank of India. The acquisition has been approved by the Board of Directors of Kotak Mahindra Bank and is for an aggregate all-cash consideration of Rs. 139.2 crore. As of June 30, 2016, BSS has a networth of approximately Rs. 73 crore and microfinance loans of Rs. 483 crore in its books. It will be a subsidiary of Kotak after receiving regulatory and other approvals.

                                               Strategic rationale and benefits

     BSS has a commercially established model in the microfinance segment. This acquisition gives Kotak access to BSS’s growing customer base which currently stands at over 2,17,000 and network of 78 branches (as of June 30, 2016). 

  This acquisition offers Kotak a deeper reach in the low income segment, and also increases the access of BSS’s customer base to Kotak’s wide array of products and services. Further, BSS’s loan book also qualifies for Priority Sector Lending (PSL). Kotak and the BSS team will leverage their combined experience to scale up the existing platform.

Narayan SA, President – Commercial Banking, Kotak Mahindra Bank, said “Financial inclusion is one of the imperatives of our country, and this acquisition is a testimony of our commitment to cater to the needs of weaker sections of society in a commercially viable manner. The capabilities and processes required for this customer segment are unique, and cannot be created easily or organically in a short span. BSS is of the right size, culturally compatible with Kotak, and has proven its processes and value systems over a decade.”

“We will leverage BSS’s deep presence in the segment and related experience to ensure that customers’ needs are served best and consistent with the past culture” added Narayan.

Dr. Ramesh Bellamkonda, Promoter, Chairman & MD, BSS Microfinance Pvt. Ltd. said, “Our institution has an excellent team, with good systems and processes. Until now, we have been hobbled with constraints of equity capital. The deal not only helps us overcome this constraint but also allows us to offer savings products in conjunction with Kotak Mahindra Bank, once the deal is consummated.  We will now be able to expand, and provide better products and services to both existing and new clients across the country. I am excited about the prospect that we can now play a more meaningful role to alleviate poverty in our country, much better than we have done so far.”

        Kotak is renowned for its employee orientation and retention of talent. It appreciates the culture of BSS and capabilities of its 728 employees, which will be leveraged for the next phase of growth.

For Kotak - Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP and M2i Consulting undertook the financial and business due diligence review, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas was the legal advisor, and Kotak Mahindra Capital Company was the investment banker.

VENUS WORLDWIDE ENTERTAINMENT PVT. LTD. LAUNCHED SOPHIE CHOUDRY’S NEW SINGLE “SAJAN MAIN NACHUNGI”UNVEILED BY VARUN DHAWAN

VARUN DHAWAN UNVEILED VENUS WORLDWIDE ENTERTAINMENT PVT. LTD & SOPHIE CHOUDRY’S NEW SINGLE “SAJAN MAIN NACHUNGI”

Venus Worldwide Entertainment’s equity coupled with the dancing diva Sophie Choudry’s latka & jhatka’s is a perfect recipe for a chartbuster. The single which was released on 27^th August, 2016 in Mumbai is already touted to be “The Sangeet Anthem” for the coming wedding & festive season and the hottest bachelorette for this year .

After a gap of three years, the stage witnessed an unforgettable evening when Sophie Choudry performed live & exclusive as she captivated the audience with her performance at the launch of her new single “Sajan Main Nachungi” which is released under the banner of prestigious music label Venus Worldwide Entertainment.

The launch saw the presence of Neil Nitin Mukesh, Tushar Kapoor, Abbas Mustan, Manyata Dutt, Shweta Khanduri, Mansi, Anurag Pandey, Yogesh Lakhani, Anirudh Dhoot, Ganesh Jain, Girish Jain. 

Champak Jaain of Venus Worldwide Entertainment says “Sophie has done an outstanding job in the single. It is after 3 years that she is coming up with her single & we are proud to release it under our label. The song is peppy and captures the essence of bachelorette. At Venus we aim to present the best to the audience”

Sophie Choudry says "‘I’m glad that music videos are becoming a thing again… because of artists like 

Honey Singh, Badshah & a few more but most of them still have actors in the lead roles apparently leaving no difference between a movie song & a music video. Cast an actor by all means but give the singer the scope to perform as well otherwise this is just another form of playback singing’ shares Sophie. 

Basking in the glory of her new hit track, ‘I miss the days of Nazia, Alisha, Shweta, Shaan, Lucky Ali, Euphoria & many more. At one point music videos were bigger than film songs because they were sexy, fun, glamarous… then every single person wanted to make sexy remix videos & gradually the market just died. I hope it doesn’t happen again,' signs off Sophie.

The single directed by Colossus (Ajay & Lovel), is picturized & vocals given by Sophie Choudry which revolves around a bachelorette party. The single “Sajan Main Nachungi” opens with a fun opening verse and then launches into club mode with the party beats. When the song speeds up the tempo, it sounds very punjabi-like which enhances the danceable mood of the song. Although the song has a western touch, it is undoubtedly high on its hindi & punjabi feel.

The forte of Venus Worldwide Entertainment, apart from selecting the right kind of music, lies in music promotion. Venus Worldwide Entertainment has always been powered by innovation. Their marketing approach has been a stupendous success winning them great acclaim. Hence, the single “Sajan Main Nachungi” featuring Sophie Choudry has already created a lot of buzz due to its marketing strategies involved in the promotion of the single.

The ability of the company to adapt itself to changing market trends has been proved extremely relevant in its success. Venus Worldwide Entertainment has been the trendsetter as it has always stayed a step ahead of the industry.
