Sachin Bansal Plans Investment in Manav Garg's New Agentic Commerce Startup
Manav Garg, former executive chairman of Emergent, has left the company to launch a new agentic commerce startup. Flipkart and Navi co-founder Sachin Bansal is reportedly in discussions to invest between Rs 190-280 crore (20-30 million USD) in the venture. Garg aims to raise around Rs 950 crore (100 million USD) in initial capital, with talks ongoing with other investors. This move follows recent funding activities involving Bansal's fintech firm Navi and reflects growing interest in evolving commerce models.
