That could be because CurrentC was a big phat failure predicated on what\u00a0retailers wanted rather than what consumers want. Enter\u00a0Wall Street giant JPMorgan. That company <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/markets\/stocks\/news\/jp-morgan-baron-buy-equity-in-mcx\/articleshow\/53868590.cms\">bought a stake in MCX in August of 2016<\/a>\u2014because it was doing so well, I suppose.
