Flipkart in its second bid has offered Snapdeal between $900 million and $950 million as a takeover offer.

According to previous reports, Snapdeal had rejected the initial bid of around $800 million -$850 million, offered by Flipkart. Snapdeal was not satisfied with the offer as the company was expecting $1 billion, the previous negotiated valuation.

Both the companies had been working on forging a deal for months which continued even after Snapdeal declined the offer.&nbsp;

According to an anonymous source, Flipkart revised its offer for Snapdeal marketplace and its e-commerce solutions provider Unicommerce. Though it does not include its logistics arm Vulcan Express and digital payments unit FreeCharge which can be sold separately.&nbsp;

As per reports, Flipkart may hold back about $150 million of the deal price for 12 to 24 months after signing of the deal.&nbsp;

Japan&#39;s SoftBank, Snapdeal&#39;s biggest investor, is keen to fold the e-commerce firm into Flipkart. This will help Snapdeal to take a large stake in India&#39;s biggest e-commerce player through an all equity deal.

A merger will help Flipkart, which is already backed by Microsoft, China&#39;s Tencent and online auction site eBay, bulk up and stay ahead of Amazon, which is expanding rapidly in the world&#39;s fastest-growing internet services market.

It is also speculated that Snapdeal may enter into a deal with Infibeam, a listed e-commerce player. Snapdeal, thus, will evaluate and choose between Flipkart and Infibeam before any final decision. It is expected that the company will decide on the two offers in a week or 10 days.&nbsp;
