Argo Capital has appointed bankers to value OnMobile and is in talks with international telecom companies to sell the stake. Argo holds 35.22 percent stake in OnMobile, which provides value-added services for the mobile.

Argo will be the third investor to exit OnMobile after Goldman Sachs and Smallcap World sold shares in the company worth Rs 2 crore and Rs 15 crore, respectively.

OnMobile, however, has denied stake sale talks.
