The Infibeam board also approved a business transfer agreement with Rediff.com India Ltd to sell and transfer its platform business undertaking through a slump sale, the statement said.

After the deal, Infibeam said it will 'double down' on digital payments and AI innovation through CCAvenue and Phronetic.AI, respectively.
