Alibaba Group-backed Paytm has signed a non-exclusive term sheet to acquire rival FreeCharge, the digital payments platform owned and operated by beleaguered online marketplace Snapdeal, in what is expected to be an all-cash deal.
Paytm will begin financial and commercial due diligence of FreeCharge next week, ac cording to four people aware of the developments. If successful, the deal, estimated at between $45 million and $90 million, could be finalized in a month, said one of the sources.
For Snapdeal, selling its payments arm will provide much-needed relief to the troubled online marketplace.
