India's quick-commerce poster child, Zepto, is racing to the public markets after a festive season high. The company clocked 20 lakh daily orders during Diwali — coming only second to Blinkit. But behind that surge lies a far more complicated story: leadership churn, regulatory heat, and a business model that's still chasing profitability.In this episode, we unpack Zepto's dual reality — a startup celebrating record growth while quietly firefighting internal challenges. From FDA raids on dark stores and government warnings on “dark patterns,” to its clean-up act and pre-IPO tightening, we explore how Zepto is trying to look investor-ready in a year that's tested its resilience.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Groww, the platform that turned stock trading into an everyday habit, is gearing up for India's biggest-ever broking IPO. On paper, it's flying high — profits have tripled, revenues have surged past ₹4,000 crore, and competitors like Zerodha and Angel One are feeling the lagging behind.But look closer, and the shine dulls a little. A big chunk of Groww's recent gains comes from one-time accounting adjustments, while its active user base and broking income are already slowing. To keep the engine running, Groww is betting on a new frontier — lending — even as rivals crowd the same space.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

When your insurance card suddenly stops working, it is not just a glitch. It is the symptom of a deeper crisis in Indian healthcare. Hospitals say insurers have failed to update reimbursement rates despite medical inflation. Insurers say hospitals are inflating bills and resisting standardization. Millions of policyholders are caught between them, forced to pay out of pocket for care they thought was covered. How did India's healthcare system end up in this deadlock. And who really decides what your treatment is worth?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Last week, ChatGPT launched its own AI browser — a tool that promises to surf the web for you. It can summarise articles, add chocolates to your cart, or even tell you which email to reply to first (though… not always correctly). OpenAI's vision is clear: make ChatGPT the centre of your digital life. But are users buying in? From buggy app integrations with Canva and Spotify to real concerns around privacy and data access, this episode explores why AI-powered tools aren't quite the game-changers they claim to be — yet. And why OpenAI keeps rolling them out anyway. Tune in. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Ola's ride-hailing business is losing speed. Its market share has dropped from 45% in 2018 to around a quarter today and investors are running out of patience. Some even explored a merger with Rapido in late 2024 but the talks collapsed. Bhavish Aggarwal's focus on Ola Electric and his reluctance to sell have kept the cab business in limbo. Leadership churn, shrinking cash reserves, and a collapsing valuation have added to the strain. So why can't investors leave and why is Aggarwal refusing to let go?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

The new Grá Macroom Gift Card for the town of Macroom and neighbouring villages listed on the Grá Macroom Gift Card has gone live following an official launch event at the Castle Hotel in Macroom on the 29th October. Backed by Macroom Business Association, the Grá Macroom Gift Card replaces the previous paper Macroom shopping voucher and extends its reach from the town to its surrounding villages in the Lee Valley region, benefiting 15,000 people and around 100 businesses. Available in both physical and digital formats, the new Grá Macroom Gift Card is part of the award winning Town & City Gift Card initiative, and the first of its kind in County Cork. Cards are available to buy online and in person from Killian Auctioneers Macroom, Cooney's Garage in Coachford, Connections in Macroom, Dromeys Centra in Ballymakeera and Daybreak in Ballingeary and can be spent with around 100 participating local businesses. The Grá Macroom Gift Card is eligible to be used with the Small Benefit Exemption that allows organisations to gift their people up to five small non-cash benefits, tax free, each year up to the value of €1,500. Organisations can avail of a new corporate ordering site, with physical cards delivered securely by post, or the ability to send digital cards on a day/time of the organisation's choosing. Irish owned chain Connections has stores across County Cork, including in Macroom. The Macroom store is both a location to buy the new Grá Macroom Gift Card and a business which accepts the card. David O'Leary is CEO and founder of Connections and said: "It's the right time for Macroom to have its own high-tech gift card because the paper vouchers were dated. The new Grá Macroom Gift Card, being a physical and digital card, is more streamlined and easy to use. Since the pandemic, we've moved from around 40% card payments to 70% card payments. The Grá Macroom Gift Card is something recipients will have in their pocket or digital wallet. "Coming up to Christmas, employers can buy the Grá Macroom Gift Card for their staff in bulk. It's an easy, efficient way to reward staff. Why would you give a Perx or One4All Gift Card, when you can keep it local with the Grá Macroom Gift Card, and ensure that spend stays in the local economy. It makes more sense. "The extension of the Grá Macroom Gift Card beyond Macroom to its neighbouring villages will bring the benefits of the initiative to more people." Restaurants, pubs and hotels also accept the new Grá Macroom Gift Card, such as third generation family-owned The Castle Hotel. Manager, Rory Buckley, said: "The Castle is a four star hotel with 56 bedrooms and a leisure club. The launch of the new gift card is a great move for Macroom. Every community wants money to circulate and keep spend local, and that's what the Grá Macroom Gift Card will do. We accept the card at the hotel, and I think in today's economy, a card that can be used to pay for annual leisure club membership, swimming lessons for the kids or on an ongoing basis to enjoy lunch out is a real positive, easing the cost of living. "The ease of purchase and use of the Grá Macroom Gift Card will also bolster tourism. With the card, people can enjoy a night away and a full experience of Macroom, spending over and above what's on the card as they enjoy Macroom and its surrounding villages. A former Macroom resident now living in Australia recently commented that they see the card as a great gift to give to family still living at home in Macroom. So as well as locking spend into Macroom, it'll bring new money in too." Third generation business Matt Murphy's Pharmacy in Macroom is part of the new card. Henry Murphy commented: "The pharmacy is a family run, third generation business that has been located in the centre of Macroom for over 100 years. We used to purchase the paper vouchers for our staff and this year, we'll be purchasing the new card. It's nice that there's the option of the physical or digital card, and I like the fact ...
