Trilegal, Lexygen help DSG VC sell $6m food processing stake to AB-InBev family investment fund

VC firm DSG Consumer Partners has made a partial exit in food processing industry company Veeba Fine Foods (founded in 1983, making sauces, dips, emulsions and dessert toppings) to Brussels-headquartered Verlinvest Asia, which was created by several families of the Anheuser-Busch InBev empire to make investments in the food and beverage space.

“Specialty food ingredients maker Veeba Food Services Pvt. Ltd said on Friday it has raised $6 million (around Rs 40 crore) in its Series B funding round led by its existing investor Saama Capital and new investor Verlinvest, a private Belgian family investment company,” according to VCCircle.

Trilegal partner Kunal Chandra and associate Abhipsita Kundu acted for DSG Consumer Partners.

Verlinvest Asia was represented by Bangalore-based firm Lexygen, led by partner Vijay Sambamurthi, senior associate Vishnu Chandran and associate Vishal Achanta.

The deal closed on 7 October 2016.

But we all thought AB INbev and related entities were all JSA's client?

And we also thought that Luthra did all the Ab InBev related work in India including advising their India venture. More power to you Trilegal - show em who is the boss.
