ICICI Prudential Acquires Nykaa Shares

ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund recently made a significant investment in Nykaa, acquiring 1.5 crore shares at an average price of ₹174.04 per share. This transaction, valued at ₹256 crore, marks a shift in the ownership structure of the beauty and wellness e-commerce platform.

Nykaa's Stock Performance

Nykaa, listed under FSN E-Commerce Ventures, saw its shares reach a record high of ₹429 shortly after its market debut.

In conclusion

ICICI Prudential's substantial investment in Nykaa underscores the mutual fund's confidence in the company's growth potential, despite recent stock market challenges. This move aligns with broader trends in the investment landscape, where major funds are increasingly focusing on tech-driven and e-commerce ventures.
