"The board of directors of Majesco on Thursday approved the proposal to buyback up to 7.47 million equity shares, representing 25 per cent of the total paid-up equity capital of the company, as on September 30, 2020, at a price of Rs 845 a share, for an amount not exceeding Rs 631.26 crore," Majesco said in a regulatory filing.

The proposed buyback shall be undertaken on a proportionate basis via the tender route.
