In February 2016, Snapdeal had raised funding from investors which also included Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. This funding valued the company at about USD 6.5 billion.

“Snapdeal is not going to compete with Amazon and Flipkart on marketshare and type of products being sold. They are selling the Bharat story to investors,” sources said.
