UnPluggd was a great success last week. And Thank You for that. We’ve started uploading some of the videos from the conference. First in that series is Kingsley Joseph’s talk on Startup Failure And Having An Amazing Life. You can also check out the startups that launched at UnPluggd here. Rest of the videos are on their way.
In news, we saw the big takeover of Network18 group by Reliance. Here’s a really good analysis on the Network18-RIL story. There was quite a bit of activity on the funding front as well. For instance Flipkart raised another $200 mn from investors. And a couple of smaller acquisitions were also announced. Here’s a quick list of stories that you shouldn’t miss.
