He plans to set up a holding company through which he will establish new businesses and make fresh investments. Bansal has brought in Ankit Agarwal, a veteran of American Express and Deutsche Bank, as a partner.
After Walmart took over control of Flipkart, Bansal sold his 5% stake for nearly USD1 bn, of which he may have retained nearly USD750 mn, after taxes.
