Weekly Summary: Story of Mydala, Simplilearn, Funding News, Diwali Gifts & More

It’s the festive season. A good time to celebrate, retrospect and tool up for more. The last week has been a bit slow as we took some time out to think of ways to improve our coverage of the technology and startup landscape in India. Soon, we will have some very exciting news to share with you. We are also seeing phenomenal response for this season’s UnPluggd, our startup conference, in December.

We broke some of the biggest stories in the last few months, critiqued, cheered and connected hundreds of startups. We’ve gained much attention with many of our stories– hundreds of them. We won more battles than we lost. We’ve made some new friends and enemies. We’ve grown in our reach and influence. Nevertheless, we remain, humbly at your service.

Last week, we saw some decent funding activity, wrote about some exciting startups and brought you stories from the world of technology. As usual, we had some amazing guest posts. For all those who missed out on some of the action on NextBigWhat last week, here is a quick recap.
