In this episode of Tech3 by Moneycontrol, we dive into major fintech developments: Paytm snaps ties with Juspay as firms move away from payment orchestration, BharatPe slashes losses and turns EBITDA positive, and a new entity seeks RBI's SRO licence. We also cover industry tensions over UPI MDR, funding updates in lab-grown diamonds, and Freshworks' Girish Mathrubootham on why SaaS firms must embrace AI to survive. Tune in for all this and more.

Remember that time in 2022 when India's top digital payments companies Phonepe, Paytm*, and Bharatpe were in a no-holds-barred turf war? Looking back, it seemed like there was news almost every other day about some tiff between the three market leaders. In fact, former managing director of Bharatpe, Ashneer Grover, has spoken on record about “street fights” between companies' employees over QR codes. A little more than two years later, there's only calm. QR code scuffles are over. No one is beating each other up. Both the peer-to-merchant and peer-to-peer payments space have settled down into a tripartite peace. Phonepe, Google Pay, and Paytm—in order of market share—are the clear leaders. This raises some interesting questions: How many UPI apps do you have on your phone? And do you have a favourite one? We may have multiple, but only one of them is ever really used. No amount of cashbacks or fancy user experiences make people want to switch to something else. Is it brand loyalty that is preventing users from churning out of old platforms and into new ones? A former Paytm executive told The Ken, “There is zero brand loyalty for UPI payments apps…” Well then, what is happening?*Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma is an investor in The Ken*This episode was first published on December 30, 2024Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, May 2, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started: Indian markets fell slightly on Wednesday. Nifty was down by 0.17 percent, while Sensex lowered by 0.25 percent.  Following the announcement that it would split its businesses up, Godrej Industries gained more than 6 percent during yesterday's trading session. The 127-year-old conglomerate could yield multiple opportunities, even in a field where Godrej already has a commanding presence. Till now, Godrej and Boyce owned the group's land assets, while Godrej Properties developed the same land. But as part of the demerger, the former entity plans to hold on to the lucrative business, reports Varun Sood. They will only be able to do this after 6 years and not under the Godrej brand name, as per the competition commission rules. A move like this has massive consequences for corporate India, and we're just uncovering the ramifications. The Congress and the BJP are fighting it out in the voting booths. But even prior to that, there's another platform where they are vying for your attention: social media. Both parties are using features offered by Meta and Google to target specific audiences. Meta in particular is helping these parties to micro-target their advertisements to the intended audiences, write our partners at howindialives.com. They analyse ad spends of up to 50 crore rupees, and break it down across their strategies, form factor, and spending on particular platforms.  What's common between Byju's, BharatPe, Zilingo, Housing.com, and GoMechanic? There were notable concerns around the governance practices of these startups. Unethical behaviour and mis-reporting numbers from founders led to the downfall of many of the aforementioned startups. As Tina Edwin writes, these concerns have given rise to a corporate governance charter. If a startup adheres to these norms, investors are more likely to find it attractive to invest in. While these practices aren't binding on non-listed companies, founders would do well to pay heed to help establish an open and fair work environment for their employees and investors. Good Glamm Group started out as a company that sold skincare items. It then went on an acquisition spree: first, e-commerce, and then, digital content publications. But Good Glamm's shopping cart wasn't restricted to India: they also expanded their presence in the US. But closer home, their Indian partners weren't paid their dues. A slew of top-level exits, layoffs, and a confusing focus has led Good Glamm Group to a confusing business strategy, write Ranjani Raghavan and Suneera Tandon. As an impending IPO looms, will the company be able to chart out a sustainable path moving forward? It's been terribly hot these days. No matter which part of the country you're in, this year's summer feels worse than its predecessors. Many regions are currently undergoing heatwave conditions. This also has an effect on food inflation: prices of vegetables and mangoes are already quite high. While currently, farmers aren't actively planting, the storage and transport of the previous rabi season's crops is under stress due to the hot climate. Easily perishable items like tomatoes have turned dearer by 62 percent. Dairy products too are feeling the brunt of the heat, writes N. Madhavan in today's primer.  We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast. Let us know by writing to us at feedback@livemint.com. You may send us feedback, tips or anything that you feel we should be covering from your vantage point in the world of business and finance Show notes: Godrej group could see birth of another property developer Inside the digital ads blueprint of BJP and Congress Mint Explainer: Why good corporate-governance practices are crucial for startups The mystery of Good Glamm's global gambit Red hot prices and other effects of the heatwave

Not long ago, Suhail Sameer, former BharatPe CEO had said UPI will do to credit what the likes of companies like BharatPe did to debit a few years back. India has more than 960 million debit cards in the country and only about 85 million credit cards.  But conditions in the credit market are headed towards a disruption because of UPI and there's one area of the whole credit ecosystem where it is undeniably going to change the game.  In fact, we could go out on a limb to say that credit via UPI could even end it.  Tune in to find out.

In this episode of the Current Account podcast, Hamsini Karthik talks to Rajnish Kumar, former Chairman of the State Bank of India and the current Chairman of BharatPe. Rajnish Kumar has had an illustrious career spanning various roles in both traditional banking and cutting-edge fintech.  One of the key topics explored in this conversation is the differing approaches to growth between banks and fintechs. Banks are often known for their cautious, calibrated growth strategies, while fintechs are expected to double their numbers month after month.   Rajnish Kumar offers his perspective on this contrast and whether it poses challenges for career bankers who value quality and consistency. The discussion also looks at BharatPe's growth trajectory and whether the perception of slowed growth holds true. Rajnish Kumar provides insights into the company's strategic shift towards profitable merchants and the importance of balancing growth with prudent lending practices. Tune in as he shares his insights and experiences, shedding light on the progress at BharatPe, his journey at MasterCard, and the age-old question: Is it more fun to work with a bank or a fintech company?

India, being the 3rd largest startup ecosystem is fraught with frauds too. There have been several instances of corporate governance lapses in startups like BharatPe, Zilingo, Trell, and GoMechanics. This time it's a cloud kitchen startup, namely Bigspoon Foods. The fraud was exposed in an article titled "How a cloud-kitchen startup misled investors and left unpaid bills in its wake?" which appeared in the e-magazine The Ken, on 28 August 2023. The podcast covers, how BigSpoon misled into believing that they had closed a Series A round, when in fact it hadn't. Things started to spiral downward in the last 2 months, almost leading it to bankruptcy.

We chat with Nageen Kommu, Founder and CEO of Digitap.AI, whose work has largely revolved around solving the problem of information asymmetry for lenders.  Majority of BFSI players in the country are dependent on bureau data while c. 400mn Indians have low bureau scores, making formal credit inaccessible to them.  Digitap.AI provides alternative data and scoring models to underwrite such borrowers, thereby reducing the risk of NPAs. An early stage fintech platform, the company offers AI and ML based Credit Underwriting, Digital Customer Onboarding, Automated Risk Management and Big Data enabled solutions, including Risk Analytics and Customized Scorecards. The company is a certified TSP on the Sahamati platform.    Clients comprise 70+ organisations, including new age fintechs like Bharatpe, Navi, Incred, Lendbox, Kreditbee, as well as more traditional players such as Motilal Oswal, Piramal Finance, and Northern Arc, among others. For FY 2022, the company's revenue stood at INR63mn ($0.8mn) and EBITDA stood at INR25mn ($0.3mn). Targeting an ARR of $20-25mn in the next 5 years, alternate use cases such as marketing, fraud detection, and identity management and development of a personal finance management suite along with the existing solutions should act as key growth catalysts for the business.  Hope you enjoy this TRANSFIN. Podcast with Nikhil Arora and Sharath Toopran, where we converse with entrepreneurs and business operators running successful startups, profitable SMEs and family promoted firms on one end, and top investment professionals representing VC/PE/credit funds on the other. The objective is to bring out an "actionable" perspective converging the world of business and investing.

India will conduct the first pilot of the e-rupee for retail digital currency on December 1, Reserve Bank of India, the country's central bank said yesterday in a statement. Meanwhile, the central bank has rejected the NBFC licence applications of some well-known fintech startups, The Hindu Businessline reports. And Vikram Kirloskar, the well-known industrialist, widely seen as being responsible for bringing Toyota to India, died yesterday, reportedly of a heart attack. He was 64. Notes: India will conduct the first pilot of the e-rupee for retail digital currency on December 1, Reserve Bank of India, the country's central bank said yesterday in a statement. Four banks — State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Yes Bank and IDFC — will participate in the initial phase of the pilot in four cities (Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru and Bhubaneswar). Bank of Baroda, Union Bank of India, HDFC Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank will join the pilot subsequently, the Reserve Bank of India said. In more digital finance news, the Reserve Bank has rejected the NBFC licence applications of some well-known fintech companies in India, The Hindu Businessline reports, citing “highly placed sources” that the paper didn't name. Among the companies that have had their applications turned down are PhonePe, Razorpay, BharatPe, OkCredit and NiYo which operates as a neo-bank, according to Businessline. The central bank is concerned about the sources of the money flowing into these startups, seen as coming in through tax havens, according to Businessline. The likelihood of fintech companies charging high-interest rates on their loans is also a concern for the central bank, according to the paper. Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding is looking to sell a three percent stake in food delivery services provider Zomato as part of a $200 million block deal today CNBC-TV18 reports. Shares of the loss-making Indian company ended yesterday's trading in Mumbai at Rs. 63.35, down more than 55 percent from the beginning of this year. The company went public in July last year with a listing price of Rs. 76. Biocon Biologics, a subsidiary of Bengaluru's biopharma company Biocon, said yesterday it has successfully completed its multi-billion-dollar acquisition of the global biosimilars business of its partner Viatris. Biocon Biologics and Viatris have obtained all applicable approvals from key global regulators and investors. The acquisition provides Biocon Biologics with direct commercial capabilities and supporting infrastructure in the advanced markets and several emerging markets, the company said. Vikram S. Kirloskar, Vice Chairman, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, died yesterday, according to a brief company statement. He was 64, and multiple media reports state the cause of death as a heart attack. Vikram Kirloskar was a pioneer of India's automotive industry and played a key role in bringing Japan's Toyota Motor Corp to India in the late 1990s, according to Business Standard. He had a degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the US. Kirloskar is survived by his wife Geetanjali and daughter Manasi, according to Business Standard. Last respects can be paid today at the Hebbal crematorium in Bengaluru at 1 pm, according to the company's statement.

In this video, we take a look at India's journey to 100 unicorns, from it's first ever startup unicorn in 2011, in the form of inMobi, to neobanking startup Open becoming 100th unicorn in 2022. The term 'unicorn' was created by American VC and entrepreneur Aileen Lee in 2013, she took all of the U.S.-based software companies that were started in or before 2003 and had achieved a valuation of $1 billion through public or private market investors, and put them in a club: the Unicorn Club. In India's case, it's unicorn journey started in 2011, when InMobi, a company that was founded in 2007, became a unicorn. Following this, Flipkart became a unicorn in 2012, Mu Sigma in 2014 and then Ola in 2014. Snapdeal also became a unicorn in 2014, but they have since exited from this club due to their valuation falling below $1 Billion. Companies like Quikr, Hike and Shopclues also fall in this category. Then we have companies who have been since acquired and also bags the question that should they be counted as unicorn today? Flipkart is an example here, which was acquired by Walmart. Then you have startups like Billdesk, which was bought by PayU, PhonePe getting acquired by Flipkart and BigBasket, which became a unicorn in 2019 and were acquired by Tata Digital in 2021. All this while, India's unicorn growth was pretty slow but steady till 2017, when Jio launched its 4G services, and this brought a mobile internet revolution in the country. From 1 unicorn in 2017, India saw 10 unicorns in 2018: B2C unicorns included Swiggy, OYO, BYJU'S, Policybazaar, Paytm Mall, and Phonepe, and B2B unicorns included Rivigo, Freshworks, Billdesk, and Udaan, which was the fastest company to become a unicorn at the time - it took them just 26 months. Then, in 2019, things slowed down a bit, with just 7 unicorns that year: in the B2C category were Ola Electric, Lenskart, Dream11, Delhivery, and BigBasket, and in the B2B category were Incertis and Druva. In 2020, COVID increased people's reliance upon the internet, and host of Indian e-commerce startups like Firstcry, Cars24, and Nykaa became unicorns. Facilitating these online payments resulted in fintech companies like Razorpay and Pine Labs also achieving unicorn status. B2C startups like Verse Innovation (Dailyhunt), ed-tech startup Unacademy, fintech startup Zerodha, and SaaS startup like Zenoti and Postman also became unicorn in the same year. 2020, was followed by an even bigger year in terms of unicorns in 2021, when 44 Indian companies became unicorns. This year saw 11 E-commerce startups (Spinny, OfBusiness, Moglix, Mensa, Meesho, Mamaearth, Licious, Infra.Market, Good Glam Group, GlobalBees, Droom), 11 Fintech startups (Zeta, Slice, Mobikwik, Groww, Digit, CRED, Coinswitch Kuber, CoinDCX, Chargebee, BharatPe and Acko) becoming unicorns.

Other 2021 unicorn categories include Media and Entertainment startups MPL and sharechat, Logistics startup Blackbuck, Traveltech startup Easemytrip , Real Estate startup Nobroker, and Manufacturing startup Zetwork. Talking about where where these startups coming from, they were all from tier 1 cities. Bangalore is leading this list with 39 unicorns, NCR region with 32 unicorns, mumbai with 16, Pune with 6, Chennai with 5 and Hyderabad with 2. Now we are halfway in 2022 and we have already produced and now it seems that by 2025, India will have upwards of 250 unicorns. So that will be exciting to watch and we will continue to track all of this in our upcoming episodes.

India's $195 billion IT industry is increasingly making its presence felt across the world. In FY 22, its revenue grew by $30 billion to reach the $227 billion mark. The industry registered an impressive 15.5% growth. And, according to Nasscom, it was the highest since 2011. The industry also added the highest ever 450,000 new employees in FY22, taking the employee base to 5 million. But, even as it recruited a record number of new talent, the industry was besieged with an all time high attrition rate. Just look at the IT bellwethers. At Infosys, on a last twelve months basis, the attrition rate hit a record high of 27.7 percent in the fourth quarter of FY22. Meanwhile, India's largest IT services company, Tata Consultancy Services, saw record attrition in the March quarter at 17.4 percent.   And IT companies have been at their wits end, doing their best to retain talent. Some resorted to novel ways to keep employees on board. According to reports, companies doled out salaries much above the prevailing market rates. Some even gave 100 percent hikes. Employee stock options were also being dangled in front of software engineers. Fintech firm BharatPe offered BMW bikes to new entrants. Techies, who have a few years under their belt, are now getting multiple job offers. Some IT companies, fintechs, and even startups, have started delaying the payout of employee's performance bonus in a bid to delay their departure. Apparently, this gives the company more time to find a replacement.   But why this churn? Experts believe that demand for digital talent has outpaced supply. The pandemic has also caused an acceleration in digital adoption. This, too, has contributed to the intense race for talent, not only from the IT giants, both global and domestic, but also from nimbler start-ups. But some experts also believe that this churn cannot continue indefinitely and that things will settle down sooner rather than later. However, the skill sets that were at the centre of the talent race will still be necessary for any aspiring techies who want to make it big. According to the TeamLease Digital Employment Outlook Report, released last December, the IT-BPM industry had set its eyes on digital skills in FY22. And, among them, 13 skill sets were going to largely be in demand. In fact, they were expected to record a 7.5 per cent growth in FY22 over FY21.   Also, according to the same report, the demand-supply gap is widening for data engineering, data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence skills. Recreate the table from the attached image. (PLEASE DO NOT USE THE IMAGE ITSELF) A talent solution and IT staffing expert Business Standard spoke to also emphasised on these skill sets. However, the IT industry -- and in fact most businesses-- are standing on the cusp of momentous changes, the effects of which are yet to be fully understood. Clearly, techies will have to adhere to up-skilling religiously. But, what about the industry? At the end of the day, a company can either build the talent or buy it. But, if the churn doesn't indeed subside in the coming year, could it be perhaps time for the industry to look at a third option? They may also look to borrow, so to say, talent by engaging companies that provide temporary staffing solutions. There will indeed be dearth for digital talent in the market who can keep pace with the technology. Take for example the potential of the metaverse, and the skills that it will require. With 5G becoming the norm in the coming years, the Internet of Things will also take off in a big way. The situation is dynamic and thus, it is hard to predict whether the same skills that are so in demand today will still be at the top five years down the line. They will remain relevant, no doubt, but will they still command the premium that they do today? Only time will tell. 

In today's video, we look at top 10 Indian startups based in the Delhi-NCR region. #10 Rivigo: In 2014, Deep Garg and Geet Kalra set out to make the profession of truckers more humane and address the growing need of truck drivers in the country by starting Rivigo. The company's innovative relay trucking model not only helps its drivers to go home to their families every day but also makes deliveries for their customers much faster. It is no surprise that Rivigo has become a unicorn and continues to enjoy the support of its investors who have pumped in $268.7 million. #9 GlobalBees: Founded by Edelweiss' former President Nitin Agarwal and FirstCry's co-founder Supam Maheshwari in 2021, GlobalBees invests in and acquires D2C brands that they believe have massive growth potential. GlobalBees then uses their own expertise to help these brands scale their business, turning them into highly successful portfolio companies. #8 MamaEarth: Founded by Ghazal Alagh and Varun Alagh in 2016, Mamaearth is a D2C babycare brand that sells toxin-free babycare products. Today, they have expanded their toxin-free product portfolio to enter the adult personal care market as well. In FY21, Mamaearth's revenue grew 4X to reach ₹461 crore. #7 Pristyn Care: Founded by Garima Sawhney, Harsimarbir Singh, and Vaibhav Kapoor in 2018, Pristyn Care is trying to innovate in India's fragmented healthcare market, and they're focusing on the surgery space specifically. By partnering with around 500 hospitals and clinics – Pristyn Care handles a patient's entire healthcare journey, from doorstep pickup and drop, finding them the right doctor, completing hospital paperwork, getting a diagnosis and submitting insurance documents, and then finally post-surgery recovery and home delivery of medicine. #6 Spinny: Founded by Ganesh Pawar, Mohit Gupta, Niraj Singh, and Ramanshu Mahaur in 2015, Spinny started as an online classifieds platform for buying and selling used cars. However, they soon realised by putting control over the quality of the cars in the hands of sellers, the customer experience on their platform was suffering for buyers. #5 Urban Company: Founded by Abhiraj Singh Bhal, Varun Khaitan and Raghav Chandra in 2014, Urban Company is India's largest homes services marketplace. The company has a network of more than 35,000 home service professionals. They have also expanded beyond India to countries UAE, Australia, Singapore and Saudi Arabia. #4 BharatPe: In 2018, Ashneer Grover joined Bhavikkumar Koladiya and Sashvat Nakhrani to build BharatPe, a solution to the problems that merchants had been facing. By leveraging India's UPI, they were able to launch an interoperable UPI-based QR code – allowing merchants to accept UPI payments from any digital payments provider, and the best part was they didn't have to pay any commission for accepting these payments. #3 Cars24: Founded by Gajendra Jangid, Mehul Agrawal, Ruchit Agarwal and Vikram Chopra in Gurugram in 2015, Cars24 was created to organise the highly fragmented used car market in India. They did this by making it easy for customers to sell used cars on their platform. Cars24 inspects the vehicle, settles on a fair price, and then they handle the documentation, all in less than an hour. #2 Delhivery: Founded by Bhavesh Manglani, Kapil Bharati, Mohit Tandon, Sahil Barua, and Suraj Saharan in 2011, Delhivery is India's leading logistics company with a more than 20% market share in the e-commerce delivery space. #1 OYO: Founded by Ritesh Agarwal in 2013, Oyo Rooms is India's hospitality unicorn that had expanded rapidly to international destinations before shrinking operations due to the pandemic. So far, OYO's investors have poured $3.1 billion into the startup.

In this video, we look at Ashneer Grover's journey of building BharatPe into a unicorn to the controversy that led to his resignation. BharatPe wasn't Ashneer's idea: Back in March 2018, Bhavikkumar Koladiya and Shashvat Nakhrani had founded BharatPe. But coming from a small town, neither of them had the connections to secure the kind of funding they'd need to build and scale BharatPe. So in July 2018, they reached out to Ashneer Grover to seek angel investment but they also got their third co-founder – who had the perfect founder profile and had already helped Grofers raise $170 million. Over the next three years, Ashneer helped BharatPe raise over $700 million and helped make BharatPe into a $3 billion unicorn. The leaked audio recording that changed everything: An audio recording of a phone call was leaked on 5th January 2022 and in this clip, someone was heard berating and threatening to kill an employee of Kotak Mahindra Bank - this male voice also hands the phone over to a female voice, who talks with the Kotak employee as well - the reason? Not being able to get allotment in Nykaa's IPO. According to the leaker, this person was Ashneer Grover and his wife, Madhuri Jain Grover. Ashneer, of course, quickly tweeted that the clip was fake, but later on, he deleted this tweet, and the leaked audio clip was also removed soon after. It was later revealed that Ashneer and Madhuri had, in fact, sent a legal notice to Kotak Mahindra Bank for the same issue - not getting allotment in Nykaa's IPO. Things escalated to the point where Kotak initiated legal action against Ashneer and Madhuri over the leaked audio clip. The entire issue might have flown under the radar of a lot of people if Ashneer hadn't been a judge of Shark Tank India. He was in the public eye now, at precisely the wrong moment. It was the perfect storm, and his rude and abrasive behaviour while talking to entrepreneurs on the show didn't sit well with many of Shark Tank India's audience members. Ashneer and Madhuri go on a ‘voluntary leave': All this controversy was not good for BharatPe's business and so the board asked Ashneer to go on leave until the end of March – hoping things would settle down by then. But soon after Ashneer was sent on leave, his wife Madhuri was sent on leave as well. With the Grovers out of BharatPe, The startup's board announced an independent audit to look into their internal systems and processes. While Ashneer went right ahead and hired himself a team of lawyers to protect his interests and shareholding at BharatPe. In response to this, BharatPe's board hired PwC to conduct the independent audit. And PwC is one of the Big 4 accounting firms, and according to BharatPe's Articles of Association, a founding member of the company can be removed and their equity can be bought back by the company at fair market value if one of the Big 4s can show any kind of gross negligence or wilful misconduct involving that founding member. So now BharatPe's intentions were clear: they were looking for any kind of financial fraud that might have happened while Ashneer was heading BharatPe. And according to the leaked reports in the media, they found not one but two instances of financial fraud. Madhuri is fired and Ashneer resigns from BharatPe: On the 23rd of February Madhuri Jain Grover was fired on allegations of financial fraud and misappropriation of funds at BharatPe .And a week after this happened, Ashneer Grover decided to put down his resignation in a scathing letter to the startup's board and investors. And this was the end of Ashneer's journey with BharatPe.

This week in Indian startup news, Ola Electric is planning to build a battery cell manufacturing plant, Ashneer Grover resigns from BharatPe, Urban Company announces PSOPs worth Rs 150 crore and Scaler acquires AppliedRoots for $50 million. In funding news, Niyo raises $100 million, Perfios raises $70 million, Pocket FM raises $65 million, Filo raises $23 million and Kuhoo raises $20 million. Ola Electric is planning to build a battery cell manufacturing plant: According to recent Reuters report, it looks like after building the world's largest electric scooter factory, Ola Electric is now planning to build its own battery cell manufacturing plant in India. The reports suggest that they might start by setting up a factory with 1 GWh capacity by 2023 and would eventually expand it to 20 GWh in the next 3-4 years. Ashneer Grover resigns from BharatPe: Ashneer's resignation comes merely a week after her wife Madhuri Jain Grover was sacked from BharatPe. And while Ashneer has claimed he and his family are innocent in all this, BharatPe's board has accused him and his wife of doing financial fraud. Even though Ashneer is no more associated with the day to day workings of BharatPe, he is still the largest individual shareholder in the company with 9.5% stake. Urban Company announces PSOPs worth Rs 150 crore: On-demand home and beauty services provider Urban Company has introduced what it is calling PSOP (Partner Stock Option Plan) worth ₹150 crore. PSOPs are just like ESOPs but instead of giving stock options to employees, Urban Company is giving them to the gig workers and service professionals working with Urban Company - whom they call partners. The company said that they are yet to figure out how these stock options will be disbursed and redeemed but they plan on executing their PSOPs in the next 5 to 7 years.

According to media reports, through this plea Ashneer is claiming that the investigation against him is invalid as it violates the terms of his shareholder agreement.

This week in Indian startup news, Delhi becomes India's new startup capital, Ashneer Grover probed for financial fraud, Budget 2022: startup tax holiday extended and LTCG surcharge capped at 15%, Ola rebrands quick grocery delivery business as Ola Dash, and Curefoods acquires Maverix. In funding news, Dealshare raises $165 million to become a unicorn, Moglix raises $250 million, Chargebee raises $250 million and Scaler Academy raises $55 million. Delhi becomes India's new startup capital: According to the Economic Survey 2021-22, Delhi is now the new startup capital of India - taking the title away from Bengaluru. Between April 2019 and December 2021 - while Bengaluru added 4,514 new startups, Delhi on the other hand added over 5,000 startups. Ashneer Grover probed for financial fraud: Days after BharatPe's Ashneer Grover went on a ‘voluntary leave', not only did his wife Madhuri Jain Grover (who also works at BharatPe) also went on a leave and BharatPe also announced an independent audit of the company's internal processes and systems. According to media reports, both Ashneer and his wife are being investigated for financial fraud at BharatPe. Ashneer is already facing a hard time in the media for the leaked audio clip controversy, but allegations of financial fraud could have serious consequences for not just Ashneer but for India's startup ecosystem. Ashneer has hired a legal firm and is looking to safeguard his reputation and interests at BharatPe. Budget 2022: Startup tax holiday extended and LTCG surcharge capped at 15%: While there wasn't much talk about startups in general in the latest budget, there are a few positives for Indian startups. First of all, startups that were incorporated between 1st April 2016 and 31st March 2022 - were eligible for a tax holiday - meaning they don't have to pay any tax on profits for three consecutive years out of the first ten years of their operations. Due to the whole covid situation, this period has been increased by one more year until 31st March 2023. Secondly - investors, startup founders and employees will now have to pay less tax on their startup investments as the long-term capital gain (LTCG) surcharge is now capped at 15%. Ola rebrands quick grocery delivery business as Ola Dash: Just like Gofers rebranded themselves as Blinkit to focus on instant grocery delivery, Ola's latest grocery delivery business called Ola Store is now renamed as Ola Dash to focus on instant grocery as well. They already have a presence in nine cities with a network of 200 dark stores – which they are now planning to increase to 500 across 20 cities in the next six months. Curefoods acquires Maverix: Cloud kitchen startup Curefoods has acquired another cloud kitchen startup called Maverix Platforms - making Curefoods the second-largest cloud kitchen in the country with 125 kitchens across 12 cities. Dealshare raises $165 million to become a unicorn: Social commerce platform Dealshare has raised $165 million in a round led by Tiger Global and Alpha Wave Global at a $1.4 billion valuation – making them India's fifth unicorn of 2022. Moglix raises $250 million: Moglix, which is a B2B marketplace for industrial products, has raised $250 million in a round led by Alpha Wave Global – more than doubling their valuation from $1 billion to $2.6 billion in just eight months. Chargebee raises $250 million: SaaS-based subscription management platform Chargebee has raised $250 million in a round led by Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital – raising their valuation from $1.4 billion to $3.5 billion in nine months. Scaler Academy raises $55 million: Upskilling platform for college students and working professionals Scaler Academy has raised $55 million in a round led by Lightrock India at a $710 million valuation.

On January 16th, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that India's IT industry can play a big role in raising services exports to $1 trillion a year. In a virtual meeting with a clutch of top leaders from the IT industry, the Union minister assured the government's full support to the sector. The assurance, which came just days before the Union budget, was a confidence-booster for the sector. And amid strong Q3 performances, the Indian IT sector got another shot in the arm this week. Six Indian IT companies found themselves in the top 25 list of most valuable global IT services brands. TCS' growth is attributed to the company's investments in its brand and its employees, customer equity, and strong financial performance. Tata Consultancy Services or TCS has become the world's second most valuable brand in the IT services sector, according to Brand Finance's recent Global 500 IT Services Ranking report. On the top of the list was Accenture. TCS grew its brand value by $1.84 billion (12.5%) to $16.78 billion in just over the last 12 months. Infosys came in at third rank with a brand valuation of $12.77 bn. And apart from the two giants, four more Indian companies feature in the top 25 IT services brands The average growth of Indian brands that have appeared in the Brand Finance IT Services ranking since 2020 is an impressive 51 per cent. The US brands have on average contracted by 7 per cent. Both TCS and Infosys reported a healthy quarter-on-quarter rise in their consolidated net profit in the quarter ending December 2021. While TCS saw its net profit increase 1.51% to Rs 9,769 crore, Infosys saw its net profit increase by 12% to Rs 5,809 crore.  And the top 5 Indian IT companies, namely TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra are expected to report around $70 bn as combined revenue in the ongoing fiscal year.  The pandemic has dealt a big blow to India's unorganised sector. But it helped several organised sectors register a good growth. Over the last two years, Indian IT companies reaped rich dividends as the world underwent digital transformation at a frantic pace. India's $194-billion IT industry has been a big beneficiary from the pandemic. It spurred global companies to bolster investments in services, ranging from cloud-computing, digital payment infrastructure to cyber-security. In fact, industry body NASSCOM has recently pointed out that before the pandemic, Indian IT companies were reporting annual growth rates of around 6-7%, which have now increased to around 15-20%.  However, the industry's growth has brought with it an increased scale of attrition. Indian IT majors and newer tech start-ups flush with venture capital money are competing for the same talent pool. And as evidenced by payments startup BharatPe luring techies with the promise of BMW bikes and paid holidays to Dubai, the entry of these VC-backed startups is driving up the industry's compensation metrics, leading to higher attrition rates, which for most companies including TCS, hovers around 15-16% today. Even as Indian IT services players keep pace with their global peers, they need to be ready to adapt to a volatile market, where change is the only constant. Another question that remains open is what will happen to the industry's momentum if and when the rapid pace of digital adoption driven by COVID-19 settles down.     Watch video

About a week ago, an Indian startup founder quipped on Twitter that the definition of a ‘Unicorn' as used in the venture capital industry should now change to $1 billion of funding raised. The term currently refers to a startup that reaches a valuation of $1 billion. He was commenting on the flurry of unicorns that have been created globally. The term was originally coined by US venture capitalist Aileen Lee in 2013 when there were just 39 startups globally that fit the definition, which has not changed since then.  Achieving the milestone was once considered elusive. But India's example shows the term unicorn no longer holds the same weight as before. In a blockbuster year for startup funding, India saw creation of 42 unicorns, a three times jump from 11 new unicorns in 2020 and nine in the previous year. Starting with Digit Insurance on January 15 to Pristyn Care on December 8, the unicorns came from a range of sectors. The 42 companies are collectively valued at more than $90 billion. The year also saw the fastest and the slowest unicorns. Mensa Brands, which acquires Direct-to-Consumer fashion, home and personal care labels, became a unicorn in just six months. While in March, Chennai-based NBFC Five Star Business Finance achieved the status after 37 years in existence. Fintech was arguably the biggest contributor to the unicorn universe this year. CRED, Groww, Zeta, BharatPe, Mobikwik, Upstox, Slice were the seven fintech additions. While edtech industry leader Byju's became a decacorn this year with $18 billion valuation, three of its rivals joined the unicorn club this year -- Eruditus, upGrad and Vedantu. Indian edtech startups have gained greater investor confidence after China mandated all online education companies to register as non-profits.   Despite regulatory uncertainty, India also saw two crypto unicorns in CoinDCX and CoinSwitch Kuber. The B2B commerce space too saw a fundraising frenzy with Infra. Market, Moglix, ofBusiness and Zetwerk turning unicorns. The funding activity this year was led by Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, SoftBank Group and Accel. As it rained unicorns, it has also been the year of startup IPOs. The listing of Zomato, Nykaa, PolicyBazaar and Paytm were a big boost to the startup ecosystem as it showed that India can give an exit path to investors. China's crackdown on tech companies has helped India bolster its attractiveness as an emerging market alternative. Early-stage venture capital fund 3one4 Capital predicts that India will be home to more than 150 unicorns by 2025. The unprecedented funding boom is expected to spill over to the next year as well, helped by India's rapid adoption of technology and innovative offerings from startups. With another nine days left in the year, it is likely that we may see a few more surprise announcements. Watch video

Deepinder Goyal reveals the real reason why Zomato went public: In a recent interview, Deepinder Goyal revealed that the decision to go public was their only way to survive during the pandemic as their revenues were down 90% and they only had six months of cash left in the bank. They desperately needed to raise $50 million but could raise funds from their Chinese investors due to FDI rule changes and no one was willing to invest. Policybazaar's IPO date set for November 1: Policybazaar is set to open its IPO on November 1 as they plan to raise a total of $763 million from the market pricing their share at ₹940-₹980.

After Zostel, FHRAI wants SEBI to suspend OYO's IPO: The Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Association of India (FHRAI) has also filed a complaint with SEBI to stop OYO from going public. According to their complaint, OYO shouldn't be allowed to go public since there is an anti-competitive case against OYO which is being investigated by the CCI and they have failed to put out all the facts regarding the ongoing investigation. The ‘Pe' Wars Continue - PhonePe vs BharatPe: PhonePe and BharatPe have been involved in a legal battle over who owns ‘Pe'.

They will be using this investment to build more health insurance products for their 70 million customers. Groww raises $251 million: Online investment platform Groww has raised $251 million in a round led by Iconiq Growth – raising their valuation from $1 billion to $3 billion in just six months. DeHaat raises $115 million: Full-stack agritech startup DeHaat has raised $115 million from Sofina and Lightrock India to add more value-added services to their portfolio and replicate their success across major agricultural clusters in the next 12-15 months.

If you are an IT worker in India, there is a chance you would have contemplated switching jobs in the past year or may have already done so. India's biggest IT companies are grappling with a talent crunch which they expect to persist for some time.  The country's top four IT exporters – Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Wipro and HCL Technologies – reported a steep rise in voluntary attrition in the July-September quarter. This threatens to weaken demand, which has been quite robust in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic outbreak, with global businesses accelerating their digital transformation. The trailing twelve-month (TTM) attrition rate at TCS, although the lowest among the top four at 11.99%, is a jump from 8.6% in the previous quarter. Infosys, Wipro and HCL Tech saw their numbers touching new highs of 20.1%, 20.5% and 15.7%, respectively.  Nasdaq-listed Cognizant, which has a majority of its 300,000 employees based in India, witnessed an attrition rate of 31%. It is hiring 100,000 laterals who are skilled workers in cloud, digital engineering, data and AI, and IoT. It is on track to onboard 30,000 freshers in 2021. Giving an indication of how bad the situation was, Infosys COO Pravin Rao said that he had not seen such a scale of war for talent in his over three decades of experience in the IT industry. Speaking to Business Standard, Wipro CEO Thierry Delaporte said the attrition rate was higher than what the company would like it to be.  Several reasons can be cited for a shift in employees' mindset. This phenomenon is not limited to just the large service providers but is also seen at their clients.  Companies are seeing most of the resignations at the junior level. For some of this, the industry has itself to blame. Entry-level salaries have been stagnant for more than a decade. And a majority of the attrition is taking place among employees with three to six years of experience. At this experience level, their salaries increase considerably when they switch jobs.    Former Infosys CEO T V Mohandas Pai also said that it made sense for freshers to switch companies after a few years since their salary hikes at the existing company were linked to their pay at the time they joined. Despite the current situation, Infosys says it does not see the entry-level salaries dramatically changing in any way, since it invests a lot in training freshers so they become productive. A significant part of IT companies' growth is coming from areas like cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning and cybersecurity. There is a severe supply deficit in these areas which allows highly-skilled workforce to constantly shop for better opportunities. According to IT industry body NASSCOM, India's demand for digital talent jobs is eight times larger than the size of its fresh talent pool. By 2024, this demand is expected to become 20 times the available fresh talent pool. Established software firms are also losing employees to the new-age startups which are in their hyperscaling phase. Flush with funds, startups are drawing software engineers by offering above-market salaries, flexible work arrangements and generous employee stock options (ESOPs). Though it may be an extreme example and an aberration, payments startup BharatPe is even offering superbikes and gadget packages to new recruits in its tech team.  What is also helping employees seek newer roles is the normalisation of the work-from-home (WFH) model after the pandemic. Technology professionals are able to easily explore other career prospects as the recruitment exercise has gone completely virtual.   What are companies doing to tackle their high attrition levels? They are rushing to campuses to hire more freshers. Many have already raised their hiring targets. Infosys is hiring 45,000 fresher graduates this financial year, up from its previous target of 35,000. TCS is onboarding 78,000 freshers, a big jump

The higher the risk, the higher the return. Most modern investment instruments abide by this principle. As the world moves away from traditional financial institutions to look for alternatives offering better returns, several options are cropping up.  We know about cryptocurrencies, their stellar returns offset with periodic cycles of high volatility. Another such modern investment instrument is peer-to-peer, or P2P, lending. Imagine lending the money you'd typically park in fixed deposits or mutual funds to those looking for loans, and getting annual returns of 9-12% on the amount you lend.  That's what the new-age Indian fintech startups liek Cred and BharatPe are aiming to do with their recently launched P2P lending products.  Cred has launched a P2P platform called Cred Mint in partnership with RBI-registered P2P non-banking financial company LiquiLoans. BharatPe will carry out P2P lending via an app called 12% Club. Such investment options obviously seem attractive at a time when interest rates on bank deposits are falling, and are currently around 5-6% in India.  For instance, State Bank of India (SBI) barely pays 5.4% interest on its longest-term deposit. For senior citizens it is 6.2%. Here's how Cred and BharatPe make P2P work for their customers.  Money lent on Cred Mint will be spread out among 200-plus borrowers on average. “If you use the auto-invest feature, a sum of Rs 1 lakh lent on our platform will be divided among 400-500 borrowers using our algorithm,” says Bhavin Patel, CEO and co-founder, LenDenClub. But a word of caution here: It's important to know that P2P lending is a high-risk investment. It is an unsecured loan. So, there is no guarantee put up by the borrower for the lender to redeem in case of a default. The borrowers are those with low credit scores who find it difficult to get loans elsewhere. The unsecured nature of the loan is the reason for high interest rates Cred mitigates the possibility of a default by lending only to customers who have been using its Cred Cash product. The company says these are borrowers with high credit scores of above 750 and low default rates. Cred founder Kunal Shah said that Cred Cash had a loan book of Rs 2,415 crore with a default rate of less than 1%. So, the company allows lenders to withdraw their amount, either in full or partially, anytime. They get the money along with the interest for the period invested within one working day. BharatPe also promises lenders anytime liquidity with zero withdrawal charges. Most P2P lending startups also allow lenders to hand-pick their borrowers, after scrutinising their credit scores. P2P lending isn't new in India. In 2017, the RBI brought P2P Lending within its purview, ensuring that only the serious ones with watertight business models remained in business.  This was also the time when the P2P lending industry was unravelling in China, with high default rates and online lending platforms being investigated by the government there for malpractices.  Besides Cred and BharatPe, some other players in the Indian P2P lending industry are RupeeCircle, LenDenClub, Finzy, and IndiaMoneyMart. As for some investment advice for a P2P lender, it is important to start small and scale up gradually.  LenDenClub CEO Bhavin Patel advises first lending a sum of around Rs 25,000, then scaling it up to Rs 1 lakh to an adequate level of diversification among borrowers.  About the time period for investment, Patel suggests investing for 12-24 months, as that is the minimum period his platform's optimisation algorithm takes to produce decent results.
