Brainvisa Getting Sold...?

Rumor is stronger than before and some internal sources say this is true, however, no one knows exactly which company is BV selling to. It is believed to be a BPO with a good market positioning. I think it may well be Brainvisa's existing Middle East partner Momenta Global. Momenta has been providing Knowledge Management solutions to its customers for a long time and they joined hands with BV for any learning solution requirements.

What it turns out to be, only time will tell. But I am sure BV would have been evaluated at a good price given its current market position.
