Despite accusations of violating the shareholder agreement, Biglion co-owners launched a competing service.
Ex-employees of the Biglion service launched a competing service Kupanda . Sources familiar with the process, said that the project was created with the participation of Biglion co-founder Oleg Savtsov. Co-owners of Biglion accused him of violating the shareholder agreement.
Kupanda offers discount coupons to visit restaurants, beauty salons, medical complexes and entertainment companies, as well as bonuses when buying movie theater tickets and booking places in Russian hotels, said Timur Aitov, a representative of the project operating company.
Oleg Savtsov together with his wife Irina own 33.4% of the Biglion service. In addition, Savtsov is a co-founder of the trade service Costmart . Biglion and Costmart claimed a contract for the delivery of goods from the Russian Post online site. In the end, he went to Costmart.

“The actions of Oleg and Irina Savtsovs violate the shareholder agreement, which stipulates that Biglion shareholders cannot develop their competing business in parallel. Both businesses, Costmart and Kupanda, are created using Biglion assets, ”Vladimir Vinogradov, co-owner of Biglion, is confident. A representative of the ru-Net Foundation, Leonid Boguslavsky, who is also a co-owner of Biglion, shares this position.
Savtsova can be brought to justice in court. “If we turn to the Russian practice, the provision on non-competition will be very difficult to apply. In order, for example, to claim damages as a result of imputed actions, it is necessary not only to prove that such losses take place, but also somehow calculate them. In the Russian practice, such cases are negligible, ”says partner of the A2 Law Office, Mikhail Alexandrov.
About a year ago, Vladimir Vinogradov, ru-Net and the American hedge fund Tiger Global Management offered to close the business of selling clothes, household goods and electronics. Together they own a 66.6% stake in Biglion. Savtsov opposed.
Co-owners have repeatedly expressed their intention to buy back shares from the Savtsovs. “Savtsovs were not satisfied with the price”, explained to Kommersant in ru-Net.
