REUTERS reports:
Amazon.com (AMZN.O) is in early-stage talks to buy a stake worth at least $2 billion in Indian mobile operator Bharti Airtel (BRTI.NS), three people with knowledge of the discussions told Reuters, in a move that could turbocharge India’s digital economy.
The planned investment, if completed, would mean Amazon acquiring a roughly 5% stake based on the current market value of Bharti and would give India’s third-largest telecoms company a boost as it seeks to compete against the number one player Reliance Jio.
“Jio has transformed itself from a pure mobile operator to a digital technology-led consumer facing platform, and Airtel can do the same,” said one of the people.
“Airtel is looking to play a catch-up game here, and for Amazon it makes all the strategic directional sense for the India business.”
Amazon had been mulling several investment options, including buying a stake worth up to 8-10%, a second person said.
