Z47 and Tiger Global Trim Holdings in Ola Electric
You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.
Venture capital firm Z47 and hedge fund Tiger Global have reduced their shareholding in Bengaluru headquartered Ola Electric during the first quarter of the current financial year, according to data from stock exchanges.
Z47 offloaded around 0.81 percent of its stake in the electric two wheeler maker, while Tiger Global trimmed its holding by 0.21 percent.
Based on the transaction value, Z47, earlier known as Matrix Partners India, is estimated to have realised between INR 155 crore and INR 192.9 crore from the sale. Tiger Global, which holds its stake through Internet Fund III, is understood to have earned between INR 39 crore and INR 48.7 crore.
The stake sale follows the exit of South Korean automobile companies Hyundai and Kia from Ola Electric in June through open market deals. Hyundai sold shares worth INR 552 crore, fully divesting its holding, while Kia disposed of shares valued at INR 137.3 crore.
Z47 and Tiger Global were among the early investors in Ola Electric, participating in its Series A funding round in 2019 when the company raised USD 56 million. Tiger Global also invested further in 2023 during Ola Electric's USD 140 million Series E fundraise, according to market intelligence platform Tracxn. Z47 has also backed Ola's ride hailing business Ola Consumer and founder Bhavish Aggarwal's artificial intelligence venture Krutrim.
The share sales come at a challenging time for Ola Electric. The company reported a sharp 50 percent fall in operating revenue to INR 828 crore in the April to June quarter, as vehicle deliveries dropped to 68,192 units from 1,25,198 units in the same period last year. Net loss widened to INR 428 crore from INR 347 crore a year earlier.
Ola Electric's stock has declined 52 percent this year, closing at INR 40.86 on Tuesday.

Tiny investment bank's revenue surges after Trump sons join
(Bloomberg) — Dominari Holdings Inc. reported a 452% revenue jump in its first full quarter of results since adding Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump to its advisory board. Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion New York Warns of $34 Billion Budget Hole, Biggest Since 2009 Crisis To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain A New Stage for the Theater That Gave America Shakespeare in the Park The investment bank, with headquarters in Manhattan's Trump Tower, reported total revenue of $34 million, up from $6.17 million a year earlier. Shares were up 1.7% to $5.42 at 10:11 a.m. in New York, after climbing as much as 5.4% earlier Tuesday. Since enlisting President Donald Trump's eldest sons, Dominari appeared in a series of deals involving the Trumps and their allies. One of the highest profile of these is American Bitcoin Corp., a company spun up with help from another publicly traded Bitcoin miner called Hut 8 Corp. At the end of June, Dominari held a stake in American Bitcoin valued at $32 million, the largest of its long term private holdings, according to its quarterly financial statement. Soon American Bitcoin will become public, in another transaction expected to close in the coming weeks. Another major deal came in June: crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun's father invested $100 million in SRM Entertainment Inc., with Dominari acting as placement agent. SRM, a money-losing toymaker, re-branded as Tron Inc. and pivoted to accumulating TRX, the virtual token that backs Sun's Tron network. Weeks earlier, a fund led by Dominari executive Soo Yu invested in the company, which spiked in value following the deal with Sun. Other recent deals included equity offerings for Hong Kong brokerage Waton Financial Ltd., Taiwanese hotpot restaurant Masterbeef Group and Cambodian bagmaker Kandal M Venture Ltd., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. In March, Dominari partnered with the Trumps and cryptocurrency operation Hut 8 Corp. to create American Bitcoin, a crypto miner expected to go public as early as the third quarter. Dominari booked a gain of $32 million on its position in the company after it raised $220 million in June. It also acted as placement agent on the deal. The stake in American Bitcoin represents almost 75% of its long-term equity holdings. Compensation at Dominari, which has a market capitalization of about $84 million, also soared. Stock options that went to Chief Executive Officer Anthony Hayes and Kyle Wool, who heads its financial arm, cost $26.1 million. An additional $15 million was reserved for commissions. General and administrative expenses totaled $53.5 million in the quarter, a sixfold increase from a year earlier. Eric Trump owns about 6.3% of the company, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Eric and Trump Jr. each received 750,000 shares for joining the company in February, and for meeting certain milestones. Dominari and its financial subsidiary pay a total of more than $60,000 a month for office space leased in Trump Tower.

With Nvidia's Q2 earnings in sight, Trump deal could boost outlook
President Trump has confirmed that the US government will receive 15% of the sale of Nvidia's (NVDA) H20 chips to China. The move, along with a similar one that will see rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) turn over 15% of its China revenue, adds an interesting wrinkle to Nvidia's upcoming earnings schedule for Aug. 27. China, meanwhile, is urging companies not to use Nvidia's chips, though it hasn't banned them from doing so. Trump talked up the deal during a press conference Monday, adding that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang negotiated the Trump administration down from an original 20% cut of the company's China sales. "I think this is certainly an opportunistic moment for the administration to raise additional dollars and in the name of China's desire for access to the leading semiconductor products from the United States," Futurum Group CEO Daniel Newman told Yahoo Finance. "And while we can argue that these are not the leading chips, they're the deprecated ones, there's clearly insatiable demand in the China market for Nvidia, and to some extent AMD," he added. Nvidia said in a statement, "We follow rules the US government sets for our participation in worldwide markets. While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide." The payment, which could face legal challenges, won't show up in Nvidia's Q2 report but could boost its Q3 outlook if the administration moves quickly. While the company might not bring in as much for itself from China sales as investors had hoped, the agreement is Nvidia's current best chance to compete in one of the world's largest AI markets. "From my perspective, it is a positive for those companies. As you know, it opens a market where there's still high demand. Nvidia, especially, still has a lot of cache with its name," Forrester senior analyst Alvin Nguyen explained. Access to China now helps Nvidia in the long run Regaining access to China doesn't just help Nvidia in the near term — it also sets up the company for continued sales into the future as customers develop and deploy apps and services using its CUDA software. According to Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon, while rival Chinese chipmakers might match and, in some cases, exceed the H20's performance, developers are already building on CUDA, making switching to competing platforms costly and difficult. "The Chinese already have products, local products, that are actually, from the performance, better than what Nvidia is allowed to sell," Rasgon told Yahoo Finance. "Nvidia has the ecosystem advantage," he added. "The Chinese developers want to use Nvidia. They built their whole infrastructure on Nvidia. But if Nvidia is not allowed to sell, you're encouraging those local developers to coalesce around Huawei and build up that ecosystem." Rasgon, however, warned that if the US doesn't allow Nvidia to scale its AI chip's capabilities over time, developers could end up ditching the company's offerings for those of its rivals. "The longer we can keep the US guys, appropriately balancing against the national shared security concerns, playing there, the better," Rasgon said. The fear is that if Nvidia and AMD are completely boxed out of the Chinese market, China will continue to build up its AI capabilities to the point where the global market is split between US and Chinese AI companies, raising potential national security concerns. Don't expect sales to show up just yet While Nvidia may soon get the go-ahead to sell its chips into China again, revenue isn't likely to start showing up in the company's bottom line until the third or fourth quarter. That's because Nvidia will need to get its supply chain running again. The company is also still expected to see an $8 billion hit on Q2 earnings due to the Trump administration's original decision to ban the H20 chips. Nvidia saw a $4.5 billion impact from the ban in Q1. There's also the question of whether Nvidia will ultimately pick up the tab for Trump's new fee. According to Futurum Group's Newman, the company will likely pass on the cost to its customers. "My assumption is, if the demand is as significant as I believe it is, Nvidia and AMD will be able to negotiate a higher price to cover the potential cost," Newman said. Trump said during his press conference that he is also considering allowing Nvidia to ship a degraded version of its Blackwell chip technology to China. That could further boost Nvidia's revenue in the region. But it could still be some time before the chip hits the market. In the meantime, Nvidia can lean on its H20. As long as the White House doesn't ban it again. Email Daniel Howley at dhowley@ Follow him on X/Twitter at @DanielHowley.
