New Delhi: Founders of Ola, Bhavish Aggarwal and Ankit Bhati, have sought CCI approval for increasing stake in ANI Technologies, which owns the cab aggregator.

"The proposed combination pertains to the indirect acquisition of less than 10 percent of the share capital of ANI by Ankit Bhati, Bhavish Aggarwal and MacRitchie through Lazarus from certain existing shareholders of ANI," a notice with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said.
