Ola winning rideshare war, against Uber in India
On the heels of Ola's 400 million funding announcement: Mobility is the necessary fuel that runs
the veins of an economy. No country can survive on public transport, it needs a dependent source
connecting people with a door-to-door service.
Flipkart winning the e-commerce war against Amazon in India
It’s a David Vs Goliath clash in the Indian e-commerce market with Flipkart and Amazon using
every method to win the race for mindshare and market share. The battle lines are drawn and no
one seems to be backing up. Not too long ago, e-commerce was considered irrelevant in the
country since the Indian consumer favored the tangible retail market over virtual buying.
Mobile App Trends That Will Change The Way We Live, Move & Work
The world has been taken over by a tsunami of technological wave obliterating old paradigms.
With newer innovations making the older ones look ridiculously obsolete, technology is
constantly evolving to deliver intelligent services, solutions, and information. Talking of
technological road-runners, smart devices are a proverbial example that combines every bit of
competent technology to bring about a dramatic shift in our life-styles.
