Thomas Cook (India) has surged over 5% to Rs 56.55 after the travel services provider said that it is acquiring 74% stake in HR solutions company IKYA Human Capital Solutions for Rs 256 crore (approximately $47 million).
“IKYA offered specialised HR services that included search, recruitment, project-based hiring and skill development to more than 500 corporate clients in India,” Thomas Cook (India) said in a statement.
The move would enable the company to expand its portfolio of service related businesses by making a foray into "one of the world's largest human resource markets", it added.
Meanwhile, the promoters of the company propose to sell a maximum 36 million shares to qualified institutional buyers, also known in market parlance as institutional placement programme (IPP). The move is in line with guidelines stipulating 25% public shareholding, the company said.
The stock opened at Rs 54.65 and touched high of Rs 58.45 on the NSE. As many as a combined 133,637 shares have changed hands on the counter so far against an average less than 35,000 shares that were traded daily in past two weeks.
