EaseMyTrip Cofounder Nishant Pitti Pledges Rs 212 Crore Shares for Personal Use
EaseMyTrip cofounder Nishant Pitti pledged 34.51 crore shares worth approximately Rs 212 crore to Motilal Oswal Financial Services for personal use, representing 8.66% of the company's total share capital. This pledge increases his total encumbered shares to 44.87 crore, nearly 99% of his 45.37 crore shareholding. The transaction is a pledge, not a sale, and the shares serve as security against borrowing. The filing did not specify the reason for the pledge restructuring, and the overall pledged holding remains unchanged since April.
