Two private equity funds are in talks with the Coffee Day group to explore investment opportunities in the cafe chain.
Singapore-based SSG Capital Management and Affirma Capital are leading the talks for possible investments in Coffee Day Global (CDGL), a subsidiary of the listed entity Coffee Day Enterprises.
CDGL manages cafe, vending machines and other retail business. Affirma, KKR and NSR are stakeholders in the listed company.
The investments will be either structured credit or pure equity infusion, which needs to be decided.
The funds are learnt to have proposed to infuse working capital, restart operations in full swing, rebrand the coffee retail business and run it like it was before.
