Amazon, India has approached the Indian antitrust body, Competition Commission of India (CCI), to seek its approval for acquiring Narayana Murthy-led Catamaran Ventures’ stake in Prione, which operates Cloudtail, just months after a mutual decision to end their joint venture.

If the approval for the deal comes through, Amazon will hold a 100 per cent stake in Prione.
