Taking it private

In early June, Baring Asia PE — which holds a 62.34 per cent stake in Hexaware — announced its intent to delist from Hexaware. In a recent interaction with BusinessLine , R Srikrishna, CEO of Hexaware, had said that the delisting will have no impact on the company’s operations.

By delisting, Baring PE is looking to obtain full ownership of Hexaware, which will provide increased operational flexibility to support the business.
