Info Edge co-founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani said that the investment in 4B Networks was a mistake and that the company has reviewed its investment process internally and upped its due diligence. He added that while Info Edge lost money in some companies, it had made substantial returns in others.
In short, Info Edge invested in 4B Networks but later wrote off its investment due to suspected financial irregularities. The company has initiated a forensic audit and reviewed its investment process internally.
