Online shopping retailer V-mart has acquired LimeRoad , owned by A.M. Marketplace Pvt. Ltd for 31.12 Cr INR, in an all cash deal.

The Direct to Consumer (D2C) brand was founded in the year 2012, which attained Gross Merchandise Value of above Rs. 700 Cr with 1.7 Cr value shoppers.

The company has been struggling to be in the the race with other shopping sites including Amazon, Flipkart and Myntra.

LimeRoad has raised a sum of $51 million from Marquee Investors, Tiger Global Management , Lightspeed India Partners and Matrix Partners India Advisors LLP.
