Jamuna Group, one of the leading industrial conglomerates in the country, has not yet decided as to whether it will invest in Evaly, a beleaguered e-commerce platform.
Mohammed Alamgir Alam, director, marketing, sales and operations at Jamuna Group, disclosed the group’s latest position on Evaly investment move via a Facebook post on Friday.
Noting that auditing of Evaly is still on, he said since the audit report determining customer and supplier liabilities hast not yet come to hand, Jamuna Group is not in a position to issue any statement about Evaly.
Mr Alam, however, said Jamuna Group will reveal its “investment decision and detailed modus operandi” before the media in due time, after receiving the audit report on Evaly.
Evaly had on July 27 told the media that Jamuna Group would invest Tk 10 billion in it, and for now the amount would be Tk 2.0 billion, under an agreement they had reached with the industrial conglomerate the same day.
According to the commerce ministry, Evaly had Tk 5.43 billion in current liabilities, including Tk 3.11 in customer liabilities, until July 15 this year.
However, in its wealth statement, the e-commerce company claimed it has Tk 1.21 billion as assets, which could make up for 22.30 per cent of its debts.
