ValueFirst whose CEO was recently sued for cheating the company is returning Way2SMS to its founder.
A FIR was filed against ValueFirst under the limits of Hyderabad West Zone Police and faced legal charges for the irregularities committed by ValueFirst with regards to acquiring the company.
ValueFirst acquired mGinger and IndyaRocks recently and is announcing its next acquisition in couple of weeks. Founder promoters of Way2SMS earlier dragged ValueFirst into a legal tussle for not being able to pay the promised money and forced them to return the company.
ValueFirst compromised with Way2SMS and returned all right on the company to the founder promoters, as per the rumors.
