The discussions over the potential stake sale are still in the early stages, and PAG may ultimately choose not to proceed with a sale, the report said, citing the sources. Other financial services companies, including global asset managers, have shown initial interest in Nuvama, it added.Notably, Nuvama offers a range of services including wealth management, asset management, capital markets, and advisory services.
