Spice to bring online, offline retail entities under one co

Spice Mobility today said its online retail firm Spice Online Retail as well as offline retail entity Hotspot Sales & Solutions will be brought under full control of its another arm Ominiventures Private Ltd.
"Boards of directors of Hindustan Retail Private Limited (HRPL) and Ominiventures Private Limited (OVPL), both subsidiary companies of the Company, have decided to transfer 100 per cent equity stake in Spice Online Retail Private Limited, a step down subsidiary from 'HRPL' to 'OVPL'," the company said in a regulatory filing.
Spice Online Retail runs e-commerce portal under brand Saholic. On June 3, Spice Online Retail incorporated Hotspot Sales & Solutions Private Limited as its 100 per cent owned subsidiary company to engage in the business of telecom devices.

"Consequently, 'Spice Online Retail Private Limited' and its subsidiary company 'Hotspot Sales & Solutions Private Limited', will become wholly owned subsidiaries of the OVPL," the statement said.
This is sixth transaction under Spice Mobility related to structural change in the company within the first three months of current financial year.
