India Global Business Staff

Women-focused reseller platform GlowRoad, run by Accelerator Enterprises Pvt. Ltd, has secured $10 million (Rs 69 crores) in a Series B funding round led by Chinese alternative asset management firm CDH Investments. Existing investor Accel India also participated in the round, a report in a Chinese technology news publication said. The company will use the money to build its supply chain and for business development, the report added. In September 2017, GlowRoad had secured $2 million (Rs 12.8 crore) in Series A funding from Accel Partners. The venture was earlier known as LocalQueen.com and rebranded as GlowRoad in June 2017 by Sonal Verma, a doctor by qualification. The company connects housewives, who want to start a reselling business at home, with suppliers.

In a move that renewed hope in India’s civil aviation circles, and sent waves of optimism in business circles, the Tata Group acquired beleaguered national carrier Air India for $2.4 billion last week. The transaction will be completed by December 2021.
