Gokaldas Exports Shares Hit 52-Week High as Catamaran Venture Purchases 1.12% Stake in Company

Shares of Gokaldas Exports hit a 52-week high of Rs 884 on 13 October after Catamaran Ventures LLP purchased a 1.12% stake in the company.

Venture capital firm Catamaran Ventures LLP, which is led by Infosys co-founder NR Narayan Murthy, has purchased a 1.12% stake in the apparel manufacturing company Gokaldas Exports. The firm owns 6.7 lakh shares that are worth Rs 57 crore as per the 12 October closing price.

On 12 October, around 5 lakh shares of the company changed hands on both the bourses against 4 lakh shares on a monthly average basis.

Gokaldas Exports is one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of apparel in India and has an annual turnover of $200 million. The company’s subsidiary, “The Warehouse’ sells garments in the Indian retail market through its offline channels.

The company has more than 22 manufacturing facilities and has international clients such as ZARA, H&M, GAP, Puma, and Adidas.

In its quarterly report for the April-June quarter, the company’s net profit saw a 17.4% YoY decline to Rs 32.5 crore from the Rs 39.4 crore posted in the year-ago quarter. The company saw a 15.7% YoY decline in its revenue from operations at Rs 514 crore for Q1FY24 due to a drop in exports to the US and European nations.

At 1:45 pm, Gokaldas Exports shares were trading at Rs 868.75 or 2.25% above its previous close on NSE.

CCI approves Amazon’s acquisition of Catamaran’s stake in Cloudtail parent

Cloudtail was formed when amazon entered a joint venture with narayana murthy's prione business services, which began offering goods on amazon.in after it was set up in august 2014..

• Updated Mar 09, 2022, 9:35 PM IST

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Wednesday approved Amazon's acquisition of Catamaran Ventures' entire stake in Prione Business Services Pvt Ltd. Prione Business Services houses Cloudtail, one of Amazon.in's largest sellers.

The CCI, via a tweet, said, "Commission approves acquisition of Prione Business Services Private Limited by Amazon Asia-Pacific Resources Private Limited."

Cloudtail was formed when Amazon entered a joint venture with an entity formed by one of India's most famous tech moguls, N.R. Narayana Murthy, which began offering goods on Amazon.in after it was set up in August 2014.

However, last year in August, a joint venture between Amazon and Catamaran that controlled Cloudtail was coming up for renewal on May 19, 2022, but the two sides said in a joint statement they had mutually decided not to extend it beyond that date.

Besides, Cloudtail had been controversial, with Indian brick-and-mortar retailers for years accusing Amazon of giving it preferential treatment which hurt smaller retailers.

Earlier in January this year, domestic traders' body CAIT had filed a petition before the anti-trust agency to block the transaction that has been entered into by Amazon where it will acquire 100 per cent shareholding in Cloudtail.

The petition provided evidence to show Cloudtail charges less fees/ commission and is a preferential seller on the platform, and with its 100 per cent acquisition, Amazon will cause an adverse effect on the market.

"CAIT has today filed a petition before the Competition Commission of India seeking to block the transaction which has been entered into by Amazon where they will acquire 100 per cent shareholding in Cloudtail," it had added.

Cloudtail, in which Amazon holds 24 per cent stake along with Murthy’s Catamaran Ventures (76 per cent), saw its net profit rise by 171 per cent year-on-year to Rs 183 crore in FY21.

McDonald's in Moscow: A 'Bolshoi Mak'

By Felicity Barringer, Special To the New York Times

• April 30, 1988

The prospect of golden arches on Gorky Street moved a step closer today when the McDonald's Corporation agreed to help put two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a Soviet bun.

The Big Mac will be sold in its original form at 20 McDonald's restaurants in Moscow and will be known as the Bolshoi Mak (bolshoi means big in Russian).

A joint-venture agreement to open the restaurants and a huge food-processing plant to service them was announced today by the company's subsidiary, McDonald's Restaurants of Canada, and the food-services division of the Moscow City Council.

The restaurants will be staffed by Soviet workers, McDonald's said, and run by Soviet managers trained in McDonald's traditions, perhaps at the company's ''hamburger universities'' in Illinois, London, Munich and Toronto.

McDonald's first restaurant is not expected to open before the fall. It will have 650 seats, and George A. Cohon, the president of the Canadian subsidiary, said, ''We think this will be the highest-volume McDonald's in the world.''

The Bolshoi Mak will sell for 2 rubles (about $3.38), or approximately 1 percent of the average Soviet monthly salary. (In the United States, the average Big Mac costs $1.45.) ''The Big Mac will taste the same'' as it does anywhere else in the world, Mr. Cohon promised at a news conference in the City Council offices.

Mr. Cohon first met with Soviet officials at the Olympic Games in Montreal in 1976, a McDonald's spokesman said, and negotiations leading to today's announcement have been going on for more than 10 years. The pace quickened after Mikhail S. Gorbachev became the Soviet leader.

Because Mr. Cohon took the lead role, the deal was made through the Canadian subsidiary, McDonald's said. Questions About Supplies

For skeptics who suspect that the promise of getting a happy meal on the run in Moscow - or the promise of McDonald's receiving a steady supply of meat, potatoes and cheese - might be a whopper, Mr. Cohon offered assurances that ''our specialists have visited many facilities to be sure that the comparable products exist.''

He added, ''We wanted to use the local product whenever possible.''

However, a spokesman for the Moscow City Council, Valery A. Zharov, admitted, ''We will face some problem in obtaining some supplies for the central processing center.''

He added, ''McDonald's has very strict requirements.''

The golden arches near Red Square would not be the first in a Communist country. A McDonald's opened in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, earlier this year; another is expected to open in Budapest this month.

Moscow dramatically signaled its interest in McDonald's in November 1986, when Soviet television carried a flattering portrait of a McDonald's restaurant. Viewers were shown hamburgers sizzling on the grill as the staff hustled behind the counter, filling orders. A commentator observed, ''Maybe there is something we can learn from this.''

The first McDonald's in Moscow will open on Gorky Street, near the City Council's offices and not far from the site where Moscow's first Pizza Hut restaurant is expected to open late this year or early in 1989.

The second McDonald's to open, at an undisclosed location, will sell warm burgers for cold hard Western currency.

Mr. Cohon and his Soviet partners would not say how much money McDonald's would invest in the project. The bulk of the initial investment will be put into the construction of a ''commissary,'' or processing plant, in Moscow.

Envisaged as a 100,000-square-foot complex operating at an as-yet-unchosen location, this commissary would have several production lines - one for potatoes, one for meat, one for sauce - as well as a bun bakery, a pie bakery, freezing operations and a distribution center.

This plant would supply all 20 restaurants, the agreement said. McDonald's Owns 49 Percent

Established under the Soviet law on joint ventures adopted last year, the McDonald's venture is 51 percent owned by the Soviet partner and 49 percent by McDonald's. The law guarantees the Western partners the opportunity to repatriate their profits, an essential feature because the Soviet ruble is not convertible into Western currencies at the official exchange rate. One problem the venture faces is packaging. ''That's going to be rough,'' Mr. Cohon said. He said that plastic and paper packaging might be imported from Yugoslavia.

''The important thing for us,'' he added, ''is opening the restaurant, being sure queues are kept to a minimum, being sure that service is proper, the sandwich is warm and the premises are clean.''
