Bengaluru-based Capillary Technologies , which provides customer engagement and loyalty software services, said that it acquired certain assets of Kognitiv , a Canadian company that helps clients manage their customer loyalty programmes.The terms of the deal were undisclosed.Kognitiv had last month filed for protection from creditors under the bankruptcy law in the US, after having accumulated liabilities of more than $10 million.For Warburg Pincus-backed Capillary, which is planning to go public later this year, this is its third acquisition in North America.The company derives more than 60% of its revenue from the US market. The deal will give Capillary access to more than 30 enterprise clients including leading hotel companies in Australia and New Zealand, the UK, Middle East and the US, the company said in a news release.According to sources, Capillary is acquiring a part of Kognitiv's assets without taking its debt obligations.Aneesh Reddy, cofounder and CEO of Capillary Technologies, said: 'Kognitiv's expertise in omnichannel loyalty solutions and their presence in North America complements our global expansion strategy.'For the year ended March 2025, the company reported a 24% year-on-year increase in operating revenue to Rs 598 crore. Capillary turned profitable during fiscal 2025, posting a net profit of Rs 13 crore, against a net loss of Rs 59 crore in FY24, as per its annual report.In November last year, ET reported that Capillary revived its plans for a public issue , through which it could raise as much as Rs 2,000 crore. The company had first filed its draft prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India in December 2021 but then deferred the plan.In June 2023, Capillary raised $45 million through a mix of equity and debt from investors including Avataar Ventures and its limited partners, in addition to Pantheon, 57Stars and Unigestion. The round was extended in early 2024 to include secondary transactions, during which Warburg Pincus and American Express partially exited. The round finally closed at $140 million.Capillary Technologies was founded in 2008 by IIT-Kharagpur alumni Aneesh Reddy, Ajay Modani and Krishna Mehra. Modani and Mehra have since moved on from the business, leaving Reddy at the helm. In August 2023, the company elevated senior executives Sridhar Bollam and Ananth Choubey to the cofounder status.The company powers backend loyalty programmes for major corporations and conglomerates such as the Tata Group, Aditya Birla Group, Domino's, Shell, and IndiGo.

Key Panel Accepts Centre's Proposal To Move To 2 GST Slabs, Down From 4
A key meeting of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on GST rate rationalisation on Thursday ended with state finance minister accepting the Centre's plan to reduce the number of tax slabs. The proposal, placed before the six-member GoM led by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, aims to replace the current four rates of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent with just two main slabs. Under the new structure, 'merit' goods and services will attract 5 per cent GST, while most other items (standard) will come under an 18 per cent standard rate. A higher 40 per cent levy will remain on a small set of so-called sin goods. Examples include alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, soft drinks, fast food, coffee, sugar, and even pornography. A sin tax is a special tax that the government puts on such goods. The purpose is to discourage people from using them and to reduce the harm they can cause. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, addressing the two-day GoM meeting earlier, had said that a simplified system would benefit the common man, farmers, the middle class and small businesses, while also making GST more transparent and growth-oriented. As part of the changes, almost all items currently in the 12 per cent category will move to the 5 per cent slab. Similarly, most products taxed at 28 per cent will shift to the 18 per cent bracket, which the Centre believes will improve compliance and reduce complexity. The GoM also reviewed the Centre's suggestion to exempt GST on individual health and life insurance premiums. While most states supported the idea, they flagged the need for strict oversight to make sure insurance companies actually pass on the benefit to customers. The exemption is estimated to cost about Rs 9,700 crore in annual revenue. The final decision on the recommendations will be taken by the GST Council in its next meeting slated for September.
