Private-equity players including Canadian pension fund Brookfield and US-based Carlyle, e-commerce platform Amazon, and Japanese giant Nippon Express (which already has 22 per cent) have had preliminary discussion on taking a controlling stake in Kishore Biyani-promoted Future Supply Chain Solutions (FSC).
FSC is a third-party supply chain and logistics service provider that offers warehousing facilities also.
According to sources, a listed logistics company is also having a look at the asset.
The company has appointed Ambit, an investment banker, to seek a buyer.
A spokesperson for Ambit did not speak on the matter, and Amazon said it did not comment
