Did the deal close?

Nothing on record yetTrading status unknown

We looked and found nothing either way. Indian filings can take 12 to 18 months to show up. This is not a sign that the deal fell through.

What we found: Earlier read ("lost the deal") was wrong: the headline refers to Vineeta losing the deal; body says founders accepted Aman Gupta. Equity term differs between Business Today (2%) and Wikipedia (3%); verify against the episode. No registry or closure signal yet. Confidence: medium.
