The company is pursuing a business transformation agenda that seeks to focus on core businesses of digital content offerings & asset-backed offerings and monetise the non-core assets to unlock value, the company said.
Earlier in the year, Educomp had sought growth capital investment of Rs 22 crore in its internet education platform business Authorgen, from Kaizen PE and Bertelsmann.
"The completion of the Eurokids transaction is the second milestone in our asset monetisation strategy. The proceeds from the transaction will be ploughed back into our core businesses as well as used to de-lever our balance sheet," Educomp Solutions said.
Shares of Educomp Solutions were today trading at Rs 62.50 per share on BSE, down 2.65% from its previous close.
