As we recover from a holiday week, news has started picking up. So has our coverage. We saw some pretty exciting stuff happening last week. India launched its first mission to Mars, Amazon’s plans in the country are becoming clearer, eBay is flexing its muscles and Zomato raised $37 mn from investors. We also profiled a few interesting startups and analysed some trends. Here’s a quick recap of all the posts from the week. We had some intense discussions on our forum too.
