The new year is off to a kick ass beginning with a few startups announcing their fundraise and Bangalore based Little Eye Labs’ getting acquired by social networking giant Facebook. The acquisition could be one of the many to come this year.
This week, we also covered some important trends in the e-commerce space. Some of the interesting articles include a look at the upcoming hybrid retail model in the country, the rise of Facebook Groups as an alternative to classifieds and a quick one on Aam Aadmi Party’s phenomenal online crowdfunding campaign. We also covered the mobile app ecosystem in detail.
In the second episode of our Growth Hacking series, we talked about how Guest Posts can be a way of growing your startup. Of course we broke some news like the coming of Asia’s first Shoppable hangouts to India.
For all the action you missed out on NEXTBIGWHAT last week, check out our weekly recap below.
