This week, we focused on some feature stories that debated the fundamentals the Indian startup ecosystem. For instance, do we have enough quality mentors? We asked if the APIgasm has ended. We traced the journey of Dexetra, a startup that went without cash for over 8 months and yet, pulled through to deliver some blockbuster apps. Flipkart seems to have taken our advice on buying Myntra seriously. Earlier this week, it made a buyout offer. We had some great guest posts, opinions and analysis on the site. If you missed out on any of the action, here’s a quick recap.
