Hyderabad April 10: iLabs, a private equity firm that manages $300 million of capital, has picked 50 per cent stake in the Hyderabad-based Viswas Business Synergies Ltd, an agricultural input distribution and farmer services company.

Mr Rajesh Raju, Director of iLabs, however, declined to divulge the size of investments his company made in Viswas.

Announcing the iLabs investments at a news conference here on Tuesday, Mr Sekhar N. Chandra, Managing Director of Viswas, said the infusion of funds would be used for expansion of the retail outlets.
