Recently, IT company Wipro said it has sold its entire stake in Denim Group for deliberation of USD 22.42 million (about Rs 160 crore). In March 2018, Wipro acquired a 33.33 percent stake in Denim Group Ltd and Denim Group Management, LLC, an independent application security firm, for a consideration of USD 8.83 million, Wipro said in a regulatory filing.

The filing states, "As part of the recently announced acquisition of Denim Group by Coalfire, Wipro has sold its entire stake in Denim Group for a consideration of USD 22.42 million."
